| Message | "The Social Liberal Party believes that quality health care is for all citizens. Not just the wealthy." - Bob Rae, Social Liberal Health Expert. |

| Message | And it would still be for all citizens. Total privatization would permit tax cuts and less stealing in Lusitanian's pockets. And that is what the SLP with its leftist views fail to achieve. |

| Message | - Private Health Care would not be for all citizens. Private Health Care would be for those who could afford it. Like 200 hundred years ago. Bob Rae. |

| Message | There is no logic to your reasoning. Only blind faith in ideology. Under our system, lower income families (<18.000 DAR/year) are exempt from taxing. Others contribute a small portion of their income. All are entitled to quality health care. Under your system, lower income families would have no fail-safe system. History shows us the results of private health-care. The era of 'Let them have cake' is over. I can assure you. |

| Random quote: "Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American...[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people." - Tenche Coxe |
