Bill: On Health
Details
Submitted by[?]: Guds og Konges Kjemprene
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: August 2351
Description[?]:
Ad 1: This would seem more liberal. Ad 2, 3, 4: This also. As I sead somewhere before, if people want their food labeled, they won't buy food that isn't. If companies try to cheat on them by using false information, they still can be sued. Ad 5 and 8: Also normal privatising laws. Ad 6: Generally, if there are no safety rules in companies, no one will work for them. However, if this should get out of hand, we still have the ius dispositivum, which would be used to examine carefully, which contracts are in order and which are not. Ad 7: Why should this be paid for people who can afford it without problems (even if they can do so just by insurance) |
