Bill: Health Care Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: United Democrats
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: August 2821
Description[?]:
| We must allow the lower classes access to suitable health care provided by the state. The people won't seek medical help because they are fearful of the crushing financial bills. We need to provide some sort of health plan for the less wealthy among us otherwise an ever increasing cycle of poverty, disease and crime will incur. We hope for your support in trying to change these things. We cannot leave our working class people behind. |
