Bill: National Health Care Choice Reforms
Details
Submitted by[?]: Pan-Sekowo Freedom Alliance
Status[?]: passed
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: June 2513
Description[?]:
| The current restriction's on the private health sector are uneeded, and place extra strain on institutions, and on the government's pocket. The regulations are uneeded, as it is in the intererests of any priovate hospital to preform to the highest standards, in order to avoid scandal and sucessfuly compete with the lower cost nationalised hospitals. By freeing up the restrictions, we can improve the standard of health care for our citizens, while allowing them more choice in how they are treated, AND increase the profits that can be made by those in the medical profession. Basic economic theory tells us that this will be a strong incentive for young people to train to be doctors, ensuring that Sekowo's health care system is always populated by highly trained and efficient proffesionals. |

| Message | Why don't you just put forward a bill increasing the pay for medical professionals instead? This is sick, profiting off the illnesses of others. |

| Message | We dispair at the misunderstanding of economics by the CPS. If we were to intervene in the market by seting a minimum high wage for doctors, it means they get payed well, no matter how they preform. They can be crap doctors, but as long as they don't get themselves fired, they can still be payed well. By freeing up the market, we encourage them to be the best doctors they can, in the hope of receiving financial reward, which will be greater under the free market. It's not profiting off sick people, its rewarding those who save lives, and giving them incentive to push themselves to the highest standard possible. It's using economic theory to help people, rather than dooming our nation to substandard health care, simply because we misunderstand how incentives work. |
