Bill: Health Care Changes
Details
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: May 2231
Description[?]:
| We as a government should not force everyone to pay for society's healthcare. While there are exceptions of citizens in extreme need that we should help, the healthiest of citizens should not be burdened with the high taxes associated with this service. With these new government savings, I have included corporate and individual income tax deductions, to return this money to individuals that they may spend as they see fit, rather than how we see fit. (unfortunately I can not propose a change in income tax in this legislation due to limitations of the budgeting side of this software) |
