Details
Submitted by[?]: Reform 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 4606
Description[?]:
| The Reform Party calls upon the government to be indiscriminate on personal wealth in regards to the use of public health. "If all citizens are paying into the welfare state in taxes, then they should all equally benefit." "Those who pay more taxes (the wealthy) are barred from the fruits of their input. They should have equal access to the services they pay for, with the option to use private systems if they choose too." "No one should have pay twice for their health. Forcing those who pay most for tge welfare state use private services is essentially wealth distribution by the sword of the state." |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
