Bill: National Health Care Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Social Democratic Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill proposes to change the allocation of funds in the budget. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 4544
Description[?]:
| The Social Democratic Party propose to adjust the government's spending budget to better address the economic and social situation of the United Solentian Republic. This is a national emergency. We are proposing a bill to fully redesign, and fund our healthcare system. We are establishing a free healthcare system funded by the Health and Social Services fund. We will be cutting defense and adding a 15% corporate tax to make sure this doesn’t adversely affect our budget. We are also legalizing contraceptives and beginning regulation of industry. We urge other parties to join us on this. Show some leadership and stand for working Solentians. We have people dying because of lack of healthcare access. Do not betray our people. |

| Date | 19:27:00, March 11, 2019 CET | From | Democratic Centralist Party | To | Debating the National Health Care Act |
| Message | We do support free healthcare, just not the proposals your party have proposed. We reject. DCP |
| Date | 22:12:05, March 11, 2019 CET | From | Hosian Democratic Alliance | To | Debating the National Health Care Act |
| Message | We should not play politics with such an important issue. You will be aware that many with a sincere Aurorian faith have objections to this kind of fertility control. We will propose comprehensive healthcare legislation which can attract cross party support. |
