| Message | We will suport this. Though we question what the regulations will include, are we banning new medicines, alternative approaches. Or are we looking to insure that our citizens can make informed decisions about their care and that those practicing medicine are well educated and have safe clean clinics? |

| Message | Why the "heavy regulation?" Since when are politicians fit to determine what is "providing good care?" Let the doctors and other professionals run the healthcare industry and let the politicians run the government. |

| Message | EM makes a fair point, but we also agree that there should be patient-doctor confidentiality. perhaps in a separate bill we can vote on the the proposals listed, but we feel that regulation of the medical profession should occur under the supervision of experts. also, we do not want to restrict the medical profession when those restrictions may in fact be the wrong move. |
