Bill: Healthcare Choice and Reform Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: People's Progressive 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 2117
Description[?]:
| This bill realises that the banning of private clinics is unnecessary, with regulation these can provide services just as good as normal healthcare. These clinics then relieve the pressure of the nationalised service, and also offer more patient choice and freedom. |

Proposal[?] to change Health care policy.
Old value:: Health care is entirely public and free; private clinics are banned.

| Message | here, here commie. This is Privatisation by the back door, and will give the richer people better and faster healthcare to those who can affrod it leaving those without the money to have to wait in queues. |

| Message | Furthermore, it will leech doctors from the public sector, thereby degrading the standard of service and thus depriving the poor of our society the 'choice' that this bill purports to provide. |

| Message | When theres private and public healthcare doctors dont have to choose: They can work for both! This will actually benefit nationalised healthcare by alleviating demand for space. These clinics, because of regulation, will be practically the same as national healthcare and hence provide the same, egalitarian service. |

| Message | SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUREEEEEEEE they'll work for both! brilliant! It will be practically the same! but people are making profit over others! how great! and it will not be practically be the same as public beceayse otherwise people would go for the FREE public healthcare. Doctors will get payed more in the private sectors and will therefore move... is it that hard to understand? working in both private and public will be practically impossible unless you want that doctor to be hugely stressed! And in that case he wont be a good doctor anymore... |

| Message | Actually, working in public and private healthcare is EXACTLY how nationalised healthcare works. In the UK, for example, almost all doctors do stints for both... |

| Message | uhm... no... maybe in the UK but it's not exactly how nationalised healthcare works... Look at Cuba! |

| Message | Haha it wont be long until that happens too, they're bringing in private health into cuba too! That's the way the worlds going these days! |

| Message | uhm... you dont have any idea whats going on in the real world right? If a doctor WOULD work in both private and public and get payed more for private there are 2 emergency's one in private one in public which one would he choose? |
| Date | 19:13:41, September 26, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian party of Darnussia | To | Debating the Healthcare Choice and Reform Act |
| Message | (i still find it hard to believe many doctors do that in the UK, working for both) |

| Message | Cuba is a terrible example given the tiny population of the country in comparison to the 50 million in Darnussia. Jesus. |
