Bill: Health Care Bill 2834
Details
Submitted by[?]: United Democrats
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: May 2835
Description[?]:
| We need to provide adequate, affordable health care for our less fortunate citizens. A free national medical service would encourage patients to practice preventive medicine and visit doctors early when the diagnosis and treatment will be less extensive. Currently, patients often avoid visits to the doctor and other preventive measures because of the costs. We propose adjustments to the taxation rates in order to better fund this service. |
Proposals

Proposal[?] to change Health care policy.
Old value:: Local governments decide about healthcare policies
Current: There is a public health care system, but private clinics are allowed.
Proposed: There is a free public health care system and a small number of private clinics, which are heavily regulated to ensure they treat their patients well and provide good care.

| Message | The REP will support this bill provided the fact that the Commonwealth has significant budgetary surplus which could cover the funding for a Rutanian National Health Care System. After the bill passes we could alter our national budget accordingly. Michelle Perigaux, Senator REP |
| Date | 06:50:46, October 18, 2009 CET | From | Rutanian Restoration Party | To | Debating the Health Care Bill 2834 |
| Message | We will support this bill. This will consume the entire surplus, but I suppose it's better than legislating the end of federal revenue. This bill has been a long time coming. We thank the Senators from the DPR for their resolution in getting this bill passed. This will be a landmark day in Rutanian history. |
