Eventually Dominic Melembe stood and took the floor. “Greetings fellow members of the national assembly, I’m well aware of the drastic and sudden changes that our party has taken in regards to our nation’s health. Such changes have been controversial to some, but well received by many. It is because of the reception that the Freedom of Health Act received in its creation that I’m inclined to expand upon it with the creation of a new bill, one that will give the nation the opportunity to choose the type of health care they receive.” [hider=Freedom of Choice Act] Overview: The freedom of choice act will provide the citizens the freedom and opportunity to decide what they put into their bodies and allow for the loosening of arbitrary restrictions placed on health industries Article 1: The government will not actively place regulation on private healthcare industries, instead they will only recommend health and safety legislation to these privately created clinics providing them the opportunity to set their own standards.

Since my time as minister of health, I’ve come to recognize the tragedy that our healthcare industry has become. Patients turned away because of both arbitrary and authoritarian laws. Let us put aside our partisan squabbling and push through this legislation.” [hider=Parliament Actions] [b]Propose[/b]: Freedom of Choice Act [b]Minister of Health/Labor Action[/b]: Propose Article 2 of FCA (free) [b]Propose[/b]: Article 3 of FCA [b]Propose[/b]: Article 4 of FCA [b]Call to vote[/b]: Aviation Safety Act [b]Vote[/b] Aviation Safety Act; Yes 22 [/hider] [hr] [center][b]The Ministry of State and Foreign Affairs[/b][/center] South Africa, an economic powerhouse within Africa and an essential trade partner to the Samgolan people.
