Bill: Health and Rights Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Frjálslyndi Flokkurinn
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: December 4455
Description[?]:
| 1: The health care system should not be in the hands of the state since it does not promote any innovation or improved service. This due to the fact that it is guaranteed funding by the state. However there should be support of the low income families that can not a ord health care. We therefore propose that health care should be private, but is paid for by the state for people with low incomes. 2: IVF should not be limited to married couples but should be based on the individual's quali cations. We propose that IVF should be legal and regulated in terms of the applicant's condition and procedural circumstances. 3: It should not be the state's duty to guarantee free pharmaceutical drugs to its people. However, people of low income should be able to get pharmaceutical to a reduced price. We propose that the government should subsidise the cost of pharmaceutical drugs for people on low incomes. |
