Bill: Healthcare Reform - PLP
Details
Submitted by[?]: Progressive Liberal 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: October 4248
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%. We are in favor of legalizing recreational drugs. So cannabis for patients in pain are a good thing in our opinion Further children should be all vaccinated, all religious beliefs aside. This is for people's healthcare so this should be mandatory. Thank you |

| Message | Dear Members of our Senate We are questioning LRP about voting against this bill. The party leader of LRP told they would file a bill where no person is exempted. Though their bill stops free public healthcare. Exempting everyone in Solentia. Further there is done nothing about making medication cheaper or free for Solentia they do nothing about it. Therefore we call our Senate to vote in favor of this bill! Thank u |
