Bill: Health Package
Details
Submitted by[?]: Free Radical Party
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: November 2693
Description[?]:
| Proposals regarding the Health sector of our laws. Local governments are closer to the needs of the people and thus can determine what their people prefer. Do not automatically assume that a local government will not provide any health care, etc. Our nation is diverse and the local governments will give each region what they want. Those is East Shadar can get a state paid health plan, while those in Kal Serathi do not. We believe that this is the best compromise. |
