Details
Submitted by[?]: Secularist, Socialist Party of Baltusia
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill is a resolution. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 4305
Description[?]:
| Members of Congress, The calamitous abolition of the Baltusian health service initially lead to a mass lack of coverage for people, while that has slightly subsided now there are still tens of millions of people without access to healthcare in Baltusia and that is a disgrace. Can the Secretary of State for Health and Social Services outline a plan to not only cover those people but guarantee employment to the doctors and nurses who were left unemployed and who haven't yet found employment under a private company and do something about the unused, now empty hospitals. Dr. John Ashword Shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Services |

| Message | Dr. Ashwood, The abolition of the Health Service will result in more competition, entrepreneurship and innovation in the health area. This will result in steep price falls, making it much cheaper for everyone to acquire health care. Even those who cannot afford it will still be assisted, under the new regulations. The profit motive will make health care better! Clinic and insurers will have to compete with other companies, and will genuinely need to work to offer consumers the best plan they can. It is not the governments job to guarantee employment to all. The market, if allowed to operate freely, should provide the most efficient number of jobs. I understand that I am not the Secretary of Health and Social Services, however my party's point of view may assist you in understanding why this action was made and what will come of it. F. Adams Leader of the RCP |

| Message | Leader Adams, We obviously disagree about the long term benefits of healthcare privatisation however my questioning was on the short term effects of it, I am sure you would agree that a transition plan was in order to prevent the logical cliffedge which results from millions of people who were on public health insurance suddenly being forced to find a private alternative when the preexisting private market was comparatively rather small. I was simply asking if the health secretary was going to leave everything to the free market, or if he was planning to sell the existing hospitals and staff to private companies.
