Cure for spon plague == banned

Description:
In recent weeks, following the Ban of the cure for spon plague, @@NAME@@ has experienced the outbreak of just about every disease known to man, plus some that were just discovered by what few doctors actually remain.
[option]"This is an outrage!", cries Solaria fever victim @@RANDOMNAME@@ in between fits of puking up blood. "And for what? All because some religous wacko had to open his big mouth? You've got to be kidding me. Do something about this, and pronto, or we'll all soon be....*hack*................."
[effect]Poorly trained new doctors are getting sick and dropping like flies.
[stats]Size of government up(some), healthcare spending up(some), taxes up(a lot), health up(slightly), happiness up(slightly), religion and spirituality down(some)
/*Hasty plans tend to solve little, and cost a lot*/
[option]"Woah, slow down there", says insurance salesman @@RANDOMNAME@@, stepping over the seconds ago deceased petitioner. "What did government beaurocracy ever solve? This is a job for the private sector. If everyone could afford health insurance more people would visit the doctor. That would create more incentive for people to study in med school to become doctors no? In the end we could prevent such a huge epidemic. Of course, we will need some reimbersment."
[effect]Health insurance CEO's are frequently jailed for pocketing government subsidies.
[stats]Insurance industry up(some), economy up(slight), health up(slight), happiness down(some), taxes up(some), commerce spending up(some), religion and spirituality down(some)
/*That didn't solve too much either, I allowed health to increase because some of the money, albiet very little, is actually going towards helping the sick*/
[option]"HA! This just shows what happens when you care about the rights of the diseased", says four star general @@RANDOMNAME@@. "I say we set up a new anti-disease branch of the military which will force the sick to stay in their homes. That will stop these epidemics from spreading."
[effect]The government murders people for sneezing in public.
[stats]Size of government up(a lot), health up(some), taxes up(a whole lot), defence up(a lot), civil rights down(a whole lot), happiness down(a lot)
/*Well.......at least you solved the epidemic eh?*/
[option]"This has me thinking" says @@RANDOMNAME@@, your minister of finance. "Is this whole disease thing really a problem? Does it not help solve our problems with overpopulation without forcing us to do the killing ourselves? I say let nature take it's course and forget about it. With any luck we'll be down to manageable numbers in no time."
[effect]There have been reports of attacks by 50 foot viruses.
[stats]Health down(a lot), happiness down(a lot), taxes down(some), size of government down(some)
/*Of course, this is only for nations that deliberately harm their people*/
[option]"Let nature take it's course indeed.", says Archbishop @@RANDOMNAME@@, while simultaneously scratching his skin off in a pool of his own blood. "These diseases are God's way of bringing us in early. Why on earth would anyone want to put a stop to this? We should be worshipping and praising these individuals for being sought after by God, not cutting short their journey."
[effect]Terminally ill people frequently rob stores and infect others with nary a consequence.
[stats]Political freedoms up(some), religion and spirituality up(some), happiness up(slightly), health down(a lot), healthcare spending set to - 0(unless that number is already negative, then just drop it a bit)
/*Political freedom went up because the diseased are given special status. Happiness went up because it's assumed more people than not are ill and have said status. And yes, I know the christian bible does not praise the diseased. But who said this guy was a christian? Or that his God was the christian God?
Also I'm not sure how, or if this should effect taxes, so I left them alone.*/
[option]"There is another way you know", says @@RANDOMNAME@@, an anti-buisness advocate. "You could always slap more regulation on the industry. Better containment and disposal of chemicals, cleaner tatoo needles, better sanitation, cleaner drinking water. Of course, the economy will suffer a little, but with no one around to enjoy a strong economy anyway is there really a point?"
[effect]@@NAME@@'s unemployment rate has sky rocketed due to factory shutdowns from overzealous health inspectors.
[stats]Economy down(a lot), economic freedoms down(a lot), happiness down(some), health up(some), taxes up(a lot)
/*Health inspectors really can go too far can't they?*/
