Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberal-Progressive Union
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: April 2133
Description[?]:
| Since we already have programs that cover the costs of drugs, such as the government subsidises of drug company's and the regulation of drug prices. Through are generous social services are basic subsistance payouts by the government, free housing, free medical, generous minimum wage. These programs are enough to cover low income patients. Subsidising the costs of the pills, after already regulating the price is to much regulatory babysitting. We have enough government payouts, we don't need this one. |

| Message | Because those on low incomes, especially those on minimum wage, receive enough money to survive, no more, no less, so require these social services in order to afford pharmaceutical drugs. |
