| Message | Voorzitter, We agree with this somewhat, everybody should be mandatory insured. And the poor should get help financing this, we think people should have the option too take a bigger risk in exchange for cheaper insurance. If we make it publicly funded it is funded via taxes. So it is not free. Madam Houben, Party leader of GN. |

| Message | Voorzitter, I ask madam Houben, would she rather pay a small tax and be covered in all cases and injuries or every time she goes to the hospital or clinic. Mrs Ellen Hoffman, Representative of the Fritzite League. |

Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem." - Howard Zinn |
