Bill: Imperial Counter Reforms III (Health & Gun Reforms)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Imperial Conservative Union (IA)
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: December 2798
Description[?]:
| We must reform our gun and health system in order to make the nation safer and a better place to live. #1) By passing this law we can keep those that are not sound in mind from owning guns and having them. By doing so it will not only help protect out people, but will reduce crime and keep the Empire a safer place. #2) We should have Food standards. This is common sense. We must protect the people from harmful and deadly disease that they could get from bad food. So let us inspect the food to keep the people safe. #3) The middle ground is always best. This allows for the people to choose whether they want to go to a free hospital and have to deal with the issues of any large industry, waiting and bureaucracy, or they can go to the private clinics where they could be charged huge amounts of money. Yet the people get the choice and everyone is happy. #4) Companies should have to tell the people what the bloody hell is in the stuff they are selling, so that people that are allergic to something do not buy it and then die from it. #5) We should give those that do not have the means to buy their own drugs, the means to have their drugs so that they stay healthy and can help serve their nation and keep cost down in the health system. |
