Bill: Public Health Care Act, 2653
Details
Submitted by[?]: Grand Liberal 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: September 2654
Description[?]:
| This is a proposal to allow free public health care to all citizens of Rutania. The Commonwealth of Rutania should and will be known as a world leader. We are taking multiple steps in the right direction to becoming a country of "WE" not "ME" and although this may raise taxes, in the long run, it may save all Rutanians money. We are not saying that the private care system should be abolished, and will still be available. The free health care system is a way to insure that all Rutanians have a better future. In some countries, people can not afford to live because they can not pay for all their health care, they have to work extra hours, which in turn only makes their condition works. We need free health care, and we need it now. |

| Message | The Grand Liberal Party would like a reason for this bill to not be passed, not just a "no", if at all possible. This is the health care of the people we are talking about. Sure the current way is okay, but it is not the best. We are still offering the same as last time, but with a better chance of survival for those of low income. You say that Rutanians on low income are paid for, when hundreds, even thousands of Rutanians are denied payment for their health care each year. If there is not a change made NOW, there will not be a future. David Collins Leader & Founder of the Grand Liberal Party. |
