[[OOC:] I watched John Q last night, and there's no way if I ran a country I'd let something like that happen, even if the public didn't want their taxes raised to fund it. If I have a choice of raising taxes and saving lives, or leaving taxes alone and watching poor people die all over the place, I'm choosing the former. In John Q, the guy couldn't even get help off Medicaid (a program -in the United States of America- designed to help people on low incomes with health costs) or Medicare to pay for surgery to prevent his son from dying. Fortunately the kid finally got surgery, but only after he had to resort to holding doctors hostage at gunpoint in a hospital.]
The Multiland Leadership has raised taxes by an extra Ti in the Mul (kind of like an extra penny in the pound or cent in the dollar) to help fund the Multiland Health Service. This service is for people from low-income families who can not afford to take out health insurance and for people who's insurance companies refuse to pay for life-saving operations due to costs involved. Basically it's for anyone who can not otherwise afford life-saving operations. Patients with health insurance may still use Private Hospitals if they want.
Multiland Health Service Law
Taxes shall be raised, on this day of Sunday the 20th of November 2005, by an extra one (1) Ti in every one (1) Mul, as a necessary measure to fund the creation, maintenance, preservation, and permanency of the Multiland Health Service. This law is never to be repealed, and taxes may be raised in future if deemed necessary to ensure compliance with this law. The Multiland Health Service (MHS) will be for persons who can not otherwise afford life-saving operations / other life-saving healthcare, regardless of their actual or apparent income, unless their insurance company confirms that they will pay for the operation(s) / healthcare - in which case, the necessary operation(s) / healthcare must still be carried out and the money claimed back from the insurance company. This applies to Multiland Citizens and non-Multiland Citizens.
