Bill: Private Health Care Act - 4496

Details

Submitted by[?]: National Party

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 4497

Description[?]:

Given the low levels of Health spending in Hutori (4.7% of GDP) we propose that in order to maximize health care provision across the country we allow a greater role for private health care provision.

By expanding private health care coverage this frees up resources to be used by the state health care provider, which would have the effect of increasing health care provision for poorer citizens as wealthier citizens potentially move to using private care. Health care demand stays the same but the supply of health care would increase.

MessageMr Speaker,

I am aware that this proposal could generate a degree of hostility if seen as an attempt to undermine the provision of free health care. This is in no way designed as a step to remove free health care provision. It is a recognition that sadly health care is poorly funded in Hutori and that if we were to bring in a greater role for the private sector that this would have the effect of providing greater health care coverage for all, while freeing up spending within the state provider for the benefit of poorer citizens.

Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar).

Random quote: "It is the hallmark of great society to debate and disagree without resorting to violence." - Mathew Jameson, former Hutorian politician
