| Message | Mr Speaker, While a publicly owned healthcare system is a wonderful idea on paper, there are problems with this. One, maintaining such a system is expensive. Two, since it is universal, the government ends up subsidizing healthcare for people who could well afford private insurance on their own. This proposal remedies that with what we consider is a win-win solution for everyone. By subsidizing healthcare only to those who actually need it, we can reduce the annual national expenditures or reallocate the existing budget. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, My colleagues in the Republican Justice Party have the right goals in mind. Preventing deficit while not not giving to much to the wealthy is a goal that our great nation should continue to strive for. However is the best way to achieve this goal really to take medicine away from middle income families so that we can continue to tax CEOs and Huge corporations almost nothing. The fact that the Republicans would want to only provide pharmaceuticals to low income people is only so that They can make huge corporations to overcharge our citizens for the basic care they deserve. We need to have any economy that works for everyone not just the super wealthy. Because of this I urge the party leaders of hituri to think about who this bill really helps. |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The people from the Consumers Party seems to be misinterpreting this bill.The goal of this is to provide lower-income people with affordable, if not completely free, healthcare. Since middle income people are much better-endowed, they don't need as much help when it comes to this issue. We can instead subsidize their healthcare if they so choose, instead of footing the bill entirely. |
| Date | 04:55:29, July 29, 2018 CET | From | New Liberal Party of Hutori | To | Debating the Healthcare Policy Reform |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The nation is in need of Healthcare Reform but it must be done in a multi-partisan manner. This bill offers just one solution - privatisation - to all that ails the healthcare service. That, in and of itself, is not enough to gain support from the New Liberal Party or - I hope - my colleagues in government. Jack Hill Government House Leader |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, When you privatize a business they want more customers. This makes a cereal company advertise and lower there prices and draws the price down. However when you privatise things like healthcare and prisons you incentivise them to give people intentionally bad care so there customers stay longer |

| Message | Mr Speaker, The statement made by the Consumers party is frankly based on unfounded assumptions. There is no evidence to show that privatised healthcare leads to worse quality of care. |
| Date | 16:04:36, July 29, 2018 CET | From | Neoliberal Alliance | To | Debating the Healthcare Policy Reform |
| Message | Mr Speaker, I would also like to add that while I respect the New Liberal Party's decision to vote down this proposal, I would genuinely like to know how they would reform the existing healthcare system here in Hutoria. |
| Date | 20:49:54, July 29, 2018 CET | From | Hutori Party | To | Debating the Healthcare Policy Reform |
| Message | Mr Speaker, While Conservatives believe in privatising as much industry as possible to boost our economy, we believe healthcare is a basic human right and therefore cannot support the privatisation of it. We will not support this bill. Dylan Jourdain MP for Fairview Prosperity Minister of Finance Leader of the Royalist Conservative Caucus |
