Bill: Socialist Welfare Reform (2180)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Deltarian Nationalist Party
Status[?]: defeated
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: May 2182
Description[?]:
Article I :Families on low income should be given benefit to ensure their children can be looked after properly. Large families should be given benefits for the same reasons as those on low incomes and also because we feel it is in Hobrazia's interests that we increase our population. Article II :Adults should recieve unemployment benefits regardless of how long they are out of work (providing they can prove that they have been actively seeking employment) Article III :Health care should not just be for those who can afford it. We already have free health care clinics and subsidies for those on low income to buy pharmaceutical drugs but subsidies are not enough for those on the very minimum or the homeless. Free prescription drugs should be available to ensure that everyone in the nation can recieve adequate treatment. |

Message | "Large families should be given benefits for the same reasons as those on low incomes and also because we feel it is in Hobrazia's interests that we increase our population." - What benefit is a large population? A larger population will increase urban overcrowding, increase pressure on resources and services. |
