Message | We need ot have an observable standard of health-care. We cannot afford to break up our nation into competing city-states with the most sick clustering in municipalities that have generous health plans. The Founding Fathers did not want a country filled with leper colonies. |
Date | 23:51:20, August 06, 2007 CET | From | Benevolence Party | To | Debating the Devolution of Health Act |
Message | "Local governments" cannot always be counted upon to provide for their citizens, even if only because of a regrettable lack of resouces in one area or another. If the enormous power of federal government is to be used for any cause, keeping its people healthy seems to be one of the most important. This bill would have a disastrous effect on less affluent communities. |

Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
