Description[?]:
| We The Progressive Liberal Party want to privatize healthcare partly. We think that this is middle way in our discussion about Healthcare. Partly privatizing will be saying that the government owns 51% of the shares. This way the government can keep regulating health care strongly with lesser costs as there is private money involved. The saved money can be used to pay the drug policy we proposed also in this bill Profits of hospitals can not go above 5%. And hospitals that can show they are regularly investing in innovation get tax cuts from the government. The conditions of the new drug policy are following: The government should help everyone who needs medication. That's why we propose that everyone earning less then 18000SOL a year should get his/her medication payed back by a 100%. People earning more then 18000 SOL and less then 35000 SOL should get IT payed back by 75%. Everyone earning more then 35000 SOLgets it payed back by 50%. Thank you |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
