Message | We feel that health care is a right, and like all rights it is the duty of the state to provide it at the best possible level to all citizens. The TRP will vote in favour. |
Date | 12:50:15, September 23, 2006 CET | From | United Liberal Alliance | To | Debating the IADP Healthcare Equality Plank |
Message | We agree with the TRP that healthcare is a right and that the state has a duty to ensure that all citizens have access to adequate healthcare to suit their needs, but we do not believe that a monolithic, bureacratic and centrally regulated system is the best way to provide that care. We believe that it is far better to allow private organisations in particular voluntary organisations to compete to provide services as we believe that provided there is proper governement regulation and oversight this will drive up healthcare standards. Of course those that can afford to should pay a contribution towards their care, but those who cannot would have their healthcare paid for by the government. |

Message | Hey, Royalists! Since people say that it's a right to have a gun, should the state provide those free-of-charge, too? If you lot keep going on like a horde of drunken Leninists, I'll have no choice to bring back out my Margaret Thatcher hat. We know what happens then don't we IADP. That's right: I end up in Number 10. Beware. |
