Status[?]: passed

Voting deadline: August 2360
Description[?]:
| This bill seeks to establish the Jakanian Public Health Service, offering free treatment and access to medical professionals for all citizens of the country. This bill will allow any treatment provided by a doctor to be accepted free of charge, with the exception of certain medical offers, such as basic forms of sexual protection, which may be taken freely without consent of a registered doctor. The health service will also offer free services such as gyms and public sports clubs, as the discovered benefits of exercise to an individual's health seem to increase daily. Private clinics will continue to exist and may offer treatment alongside government services. |
