Bill: Opposition to Health Care Socialism Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Radical 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: May 2588
Description[?]:
| Pharmaceutical economic independence, coupled with a Health Care system that cares for those that cannot afford private health care, is the best alternative, and reconciles business and public interest. There is no need for an NHS or pharmaceutical socialism, when this already effective system is in place. I vow, as the new leader of the Radical Party, to ensure a more ethical approach to finance, but private healthcare where the poor are cared for is both responsible and compassionate, and pharmaceutical socialism is of no benefit to to the people while only a detriment to the interest of business and the taxpayer. Luanna Silverton Party Leader |

| 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. |
