Bill: Health Reform 4260
Details
Submitted by[?]: Baltusian Green Alliance
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: February 4261
Description[?]:
| Members of Congress, It is time we deregulate the health industry with its absurdity and give the private sector freedom in providing the best service, for the lowest money. Our health spending is excessive and it would be much simpler to simply privatize it, yet cover the costs for those which need covering most. Most importantly though: We can NOT give away free stuff. NO ONE is entitled to anyone's labour! Thank you, Lucas Lemingway, Minister of Health and Social Services |
