Bill: Progressive Healthcare reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Progressive Party
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: November 4555
Description[?]:
| By privatizing our healthcare, more money is available. Private companies simply work more efficiently. That money can be reinvested in our people so that they get the best care. Strict regulations are certainly needed here. We are talking here for example about fixed fees that may never be exceeded, maximum amounts of profit that may not be exceeded, etc |

This should be done in a public way, such as on the Character Transfers thread, so that if a dispute arises in the future, Moderation can be pointed towards evidence of the transfer. |
