| Message | The State should provide free healthcare for the benefit and overall health and well-being of the State. Thus, we vote no. |
| Date | 18:25:01, March 06, 2006 CET | From | Liberty Party | To | Debating the Healthcare |
| Message | There's no such thing as 'free' healthcare. One way or another it has to be paid for. The socialist system of paying for it out of general taxation is counter-productive because it stimulates demand (by making it free at the point of access to the populace) without stimulating supply (by allowing providers to charge what the market will bear). If you really want to look after the poor, buy yourself some health insurance and buy some insurance for a poor person. That way you'll both get decent healthcare and it'll still cost less than letting a wasteful bureaucratic state mess it up. |

| Random quote: "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson |
