Description[?]:
Robert Seiler steps up to the stand: "Lades and Gentlemen of the Volkskammer; I come fourth before you today to ask you to pass a piece of legislation which would benefit out people for the ages, and allow them their rights. Public Health Care has been debated on in many countries, and where it has been applied it has been an instant success. Public Health Care allows for all of our citizens to get the care they need, without having to pay anything for it. Continuing, we believe that the government should allow for the funding of abortions where a medical emergency is present, as it is unknown whether the person has the funds needed at their immediate need. Finally, I present before the issue of payment for the drug and vaccination policy. We here in Dorvik not once but several times in our laws violate the fundamental rights of a citizen. We find, that a mother and father should have the right to refuse vaccination of their child if they so wish. Though of course, they must take the consequences of such a decision where I deeply hope - something like such does not happen. Therefore, please consider such action. To conclude, we walk upon another issue. However it may seem, with Public Health Care, we as the government should pay for the drugs of citizens. This is so, to insure that every citizen completes their treatment correctly and fully and as we know it, many drugs are of high cost. I thank you for allowing me to address you, Robert Seiler, Revolutionären Volkspartei Leader." |

Message | Mr. Speaker, This bill possess some good thoughts, but some that is unagreeable to this administration. Therefore, as a whole, it should be rejected. |
Date | 12:07:31, June 08, 2011 CET | From | Volkspartei | To | Debating the Health Care Reform of 3133 |
Message | Mr Speaker, The Volkspartei agrees with its Christlich allies. Many of the articles put forward are good ideas - particularly Articles 1, 3 and 5 - however we cannot vote for this bill due to the other articles. It is indeed a shame. |
Date | 13:07:05, June 08, 2011 CET | From | Bürgerlichen Soziale Union | To | Debating the Health Care Reform of 3133 |
Message | Robert Seiler steps up to the stand; "Mr. Speaker, I knew that both the ignorant and Hippocratic tactics of all the parties in this Volkskammer would eventually reject this bill. Its unfortunate that the people do not see the true sides of all these parties, while the Volkspartei dares to call itself the "People's Party" - quite a joke. If the parties in this Volkskammer supported the people as a whole and would allow the pro-life thoughts of the population to enter the Volkskammer then they would not reject this and would not vote down pubic health care. Thank you, Robert Seiler, Revolutionären Volkspartei Leader." |
