| Message | Why are you so against profits. These profits are what fuel more research and development in curing diseases. Government can't do that without taxing the people. The people are already taxed too much. Why won't you liberals understand that? I won't support this. |

| Message | Also you want private health care to be heavily regulated in order to hinder its effectiveness in helping people with their health proplems. Wake up to the insanity. The bill as you propose it is acutally anti-health and anti-people. You don't want to help anyone except yourselves and to maintain the power you hold. . |

| Message | These so called profits you refer to we are not against.. we are for further research and development, hence the reason behind the new tax plan which includes more money for technology.. however at what cost does this come. Not all the people can afford the prices that are charged for basic healthcare... These corporations that are supposed to be helping the people are only helping themselves to more money.. and lets not kid ourselves here.. the money isnt going to R&D its going to the CEO and chairman and boards of directors... Its about time the CRF woke up to the fact that people these days are money hungry whores and they arent interested in helping the sick but helping themselves. In additon we disagree that heavy regulations hinder the effectiveness of helping people with health problems they enhance them. The regulations we are talking about are ensuring there are enough materials to be used.. the drugs are up to scratch and in date, that the equipment is being sanitised and that the provate hospitals arent treating there patients like dogs.. Regulations help to ensure the safety of the patients |

| Message | Believe me, the private hospitals won't be treating any patient of theirs like dogs because they're getting paid well for their services. The public hospitals and clinics are another thing because there is no way that government can reimburse these facilities adequately for their services and so they don't have the motivation to treat their patients with the best care possible. |

| Message | Under this law, private hospitals are allowed to operate. If you are right, they will be extraordinarily successful as everyone flees the state system where callous surgeons operate on helpless patients with rusty agricultural implements. However, if we are right, the majority of people will be cared for in their time of need by competent, caring medical personnel in clean, modern, public hospitals, while those people who can afford to pay for private medical treatment can still go private, if they beleive the cable TV in their room, designer bandages, and not having to share a hospital with the Great Unwashed are justified by the extra expense. Everyone wins! Vote for this Bill! |
