You should probably read this sticky on how to write an issue in the correct format: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=338362
You won't be able to submit an issue until your population is 500 million. To submit an issue, you need to click the "Issues" link on the left part of your screen. You will then see all of the issues that are waiting to be answered, or issues that have been answered and are pending an update. After that, there will be a link at the bottom of the page that says "Want to contribute an Issue to NationStates? Do it here!"
Here's the link: http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/87345/page=submit_issue

Post the entire issue BEFORE you submit, Allers. You might be pleasantly surprised at the feedback that could help you make it better.

Oh, I know. I looked at his/her nation before I posted, but I just included that for extra knowledge, so that he/she could feel special that they are above 500 million. :p

Options:
[option]"I just couldn't believe this article," says @@RANDOMNAME@@ ".I'm handicapped myself and almost all of what little @@CURRENCY@@s I have goes towards the cost of the drugs I need, even if they don't seem to do much. I didn't ask to come to this world, so why should I pay to stay here? Healthcare should be a right, the same as education as all those others things everyone takes for granted!"
[effect] All pharmaceutical companies now rely on the government to buy their drugs
[stats] economy down, civil rights up, taxes up, healthcare becomes a higher priority
[option]"Why don't we leave it to natural selection?" asks manager @@RANDOMNAME@@ of Suspiscious Pills Inc. "We need the price up otherwise we'll go out of business, and then no-one will get any drugs, will they! We need to cut out the weak if the @@NATION@@ is to survive!"
[effect] the mortality rate has rocketed as no-one no longer seems to care
[stats] economy up, civil rights down, apathy up, healthcare becomes a lower priority
[option]@@RANDOMNAME@@, the editor of the Daily Rag, claims that "the purpose of the article was only to point out that the cost of finding new drugs is rising constantly." @@RANDOMNAME@@, the head of Farmocopy, also joins in. "We need some way to bring it down; how about forcing everyone to undergo at least one medical trial new way to bring the costs down? That'd work."
[effect] there is a lucky dip as to whether you'll walk out of your enforced medical trial with one head or two
[stats] economy up, civil rights down, healthcare becomes a higher priority, happiness down
Thanks ;)
So what do you think?
Looks pretty decent! However, how about changing 'the mortality rate has rocketed as no-one no longer seems to care' to 'the mortality rate has rocketed as no-one seems to care anymore'?

I'd add a quote from the Minister of Finance:
something like "If we give everyone free health care, that will be one more excuse for people to be lazy and not work," bellows Fed Chair William Dollarsign. "Our country cannot afford to pay for the loss of production, due to massive unemployment increases, that this free health care sham would lead to!"
