Bill: Public Health Acts of 2510
Details
Submitted by[?]: Socialist Party of Aldegar
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: October 2610
Description[?]:
| Enforced public health is what the nature of this government should be. We believe in a state that takes upon the responsibilities of it's citizens health and a unified effort by the state is made to create a better and healthier livelihood for all people. The use of cannabis in the case of patients in pain should be legalized as the effects of some pain medicine alone has more potency than marijuana. The right to a disease free country also a responsibility of the state as the outbreak of a disease amongst unvaccinated individuals can develop and spread to those who chose to do the right thing and get vaccinated. We must takes steps to prevent this from happening and to quarantine disease in small populations instead of large quantities of people who choose to opt out. |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
