Bill: Healthcare Sanitation Standards
Details
Submitted by[?]: National Centrist Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 2056
Description[?]:
| All hospitals, whether they be a for-profit private establishment or a non-profit public one, will be henceforth required to maintain a sanitary antiseptic environment. This will minimize the occurrence of patients or doctors catching diseases while at the hospital itself. Furthermore, hospital staff must be made to stay home if they are found to have any contagious, non-dangerous illness such as influenza or a cold. If they have a contagious, dangerous illness they will be given priority treatment in their own building. |

| Message | Needless regulation...just give people the ability to sue for endangerment caused by the same and you will get the same effect... |

| Message | Some people will sue frivolously and drive honest businesses down. Some will sue maliciously to attack businesses that they dislike for other reasons. Then there are some who couldn't afford to bring a lawsuit to bear, and there will be some who will refuse to sue or will not know that they can. |

| Message | Its probably far less costly than creating an entire bureaucracy to oversee and constantly monitor these hospitals. We will put a cap on damages so that many frivolus lawsuits will dissappear. |

| Message | Trial lawyers take on the charge for those who cannot afford it- they stand to make a lot of money, when they bear a lot of the risk. |
| Date | 19:29:54, May 22, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Party for Equality | To | Debating the Healthcare Sanitation Standards |
| Message | regulations would be far better. Also regulations should be put in place requiring medical staff to have undergone a certain period of medical training. |
