Bill: A New Right to Life
Details
Submitted by[?]: Libertarian-Socialist Coalition
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: April 2203
Description[?]:
The LSC proposes a new "Right to Life": the right to adequate health care regardless of financial position. Our current laws make health care a privilege contingent on wealth - that is, poor people are left to die on the streets. But we believe that one life is NEVER worth more than another. Certainly not because of wealth alone. Consider: Little Billy has recently come down with leukemia. His parents can barely make ends meet, even working 50 hours a week each (the loss of a minimum wage didn't help any). He will be forced to die. We can do better. As a civilized nation, our people look on us to provide the best quality of life possible. Jakania provided health care to the least well-off of its citizens in its past - it certainly can do so again. We propose that a private and public health care system operate side by side. Simply, if the free market will make the private sector more efficient, then so be it. If people want the security of knowing where to turn in a pinch, we can provide that too. Promote our quality of life. Let our citizens live to serve our cuntry to their fullest. Please vote YES. |
