Bill: NDP Healthcare bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: New Democratic 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: March 4102
Description[?]:
| The NDP has examined our health care system and some of it needs changing. Especially with abortions, people have a right to decide whether they would like to have a child or not. Our people have rights and choices and we should respect that. We also need to change our health care policy. By making health care free we can allow our citizens to get treatments just like rich families. Some families cannot afford to pay for hospital bills. Thats why the government should cover it. Please support this bill. |
