Bill: Healthcare Policy
Details
Submitted by[?]: United Socialist Party
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: December 3306
Description[?]:
| We believe that that our current medical system, although adequate does not cater to the true health needs of the people. We feel that private healthcare would allow citizens to get better medical help through the use of advanced equipment and techniques too costly for the goverment to use. It would also free up funds in the budget as less money would be needed to subsidise the free healthcare system meaning it could be used in alternate areas. |

Old value:: Health care is entirely public and free; private clinics are banned.

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 | We don't really have "wealthy" people in Ikradon, like most other countries do. Our income disparity is low due to maximum salary caps and highly progressive taxation, as well as a living wage and anti-poverty measures. |
