| Message | We feel that prescription drugs are a part of any nationalized heathcare program and should therefore should be covered as we cover any individual for an operation. We also fear what the would do for the middle income individual, who make enough to be out of reach of proposed coverage, yet can be driven to ruin paying for prescriptions. |
| Date | 19:28:01, December 12, 2006 CET | From | Malivia Democratic Party | To | Debating the No more paying for rich peoples drugs |
| Message | The MDP is open to partial coverage for middle class households. But the MDP is completely opposed to paying for the drugs of Malivias equivilant of Bill Gates and Ross Perot. We'll propose a 75% coverage for middle income families, because we realize prescriptions are important, and a 0% coverage for the wealthy. |
