Bill: Health Care Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Free Democratic Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill proposes to change the allocation of funds in the budget. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 3815
Description[?]:
| "The best form of health care is private health care. That's a fact. Unfortunately, the government has control over healthcare, and prices are stagnant and high. This bill will lower prices and allow poor people their fair share of healthcare. It will take the public health care out of the budget. After this and the corporate tax decrease, we will introduce a new tax code decreasing taxes for everyone." ~Ted Johnson, Head chairman of the LPS |

| Message | "Robbing from the sick to give tax breaks to their corporate cronies. Typical of the LPS, though somewhat surprising from the ROS. I wonder what price they charged for their change of heart." Ala-ad-Din ibn Haroun al-Fulan, Supreme President |
| Date | 20:04:11, March 13, 2015 CET | From | SUN | To | Debating the Health Care Reform |
| Message | A 30% reduction in social services is severe austerity and will force many programs to halt benefits, including needed health care, to many of its beneficiaries. I don't even know if enough money will be left to pay many government workers in this Ministry. There will be many more added to the ranks of the homeless, more deaths of the very young and old, more crimes of desperation culminating in riots if this passes. Pierre Acton National Chairman, SUN |
