| Message | Uneeded? UNEEDED? Millions of our citizens depend on prescription drugs. Ingrowing toenails, depression, headaches, physical injures, flu injections - there are millions of ailments which are soothed or cured by prescription drugs! |

| Message | so we regulate their prices and subsidise their provision for the poor. However their development does not need to be subsidised. The research needs to be profitable for companies and if they aren't competative enough to that then it is not the concern of the government to keep a failing business going. |
