Bill: Health Services Reform (Privatisation) Act - 2nd Reading
Details
Submitted by[?]: United Liberal 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: January 2112
Description[?]:
In light of the recent election, we resubmit this bill to Parliament so that it can be reconsidered. This bill will see health service provision contracted out to private sector organisations who have much greater funding potential to provide the best health services for our people. However, this act will also create the Telamon Health Agency (THA) to provide oversight of these organisations and to provide subsidies to pay for the health of those who cannot afford to pay themselves. Therefore, it will ensure that healthcare is affordable for all and for the poorest of society, treatment and health at any medical establishment will still be free. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Health care policy.
Old value:: There is a free public health care system and a small number of private clinics, which are heavily regulated to ensure they treat their patients well and provide good care.
Current: Health care is entirely public and free; private clinics are banned.
Proposed: Health care is private, but is paid for by the state for people with low incomes.

Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
