Bill: Private Health Care Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Imperialist Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2406
Description[?]:
| The Imperialist Party would like to propose that some private health care is allowed. This will relieve some strain from the National Health Service, but treatment is still available to all who need it. It will benefit all members of society as the rich will have their private care, and the lower income citizens will have a bigger share of the national budget. |

| Message | The Liberal party supports totally private healthcare. Would you consider amending the Act to allow for complete privatization? |

| Message | I will consider changes, i would first like to hear what the other partys think, if they are happy how it is then i may be forced to keep it this way. Later on as the Imperialist Party gains votes, we may propose another bill taking complete privatization into account. I am open to all suggestions. |

| Message | I realise that it is Socialist ideology to have an entirely nationalised health service, i am trying to balance between all parties. Naturally at this early stage of my parties development i want to keep to the centre ground. The Imperialist party would like very much to improve the quality of life of all the Citizens of this great nation. By allowing some privatisation in medical services. we are able to spread the money to the people who need it most, as the richer citizens are likely to opt for the private health care. |
