Healthcare Bill - NCP

A bill introduced by Mirô of the National Conservative
A Bill
To improve Basic Healthcare
Be it enacted by the Parliament of the Nyrmod Republic assembled that:
SECTION 1. This bill may be cited as

“Basic Health Improvement Proposal”.
SECTION 2. Findings and Purpose:

A. Findings.— The Parliament finds the following:
1) The parliament supports healthcare for everyone to give people
the care they need now and making sure it’s there for our
children and grandchildren.
2) We’re incredibly lucky to live in a century with a modern
healthcare.
3) There’s still room for improvement.
4) No matter where you live, who you are, or what you do, you
should be able to get the care you need to be healthy.
5) The parliament aims to make sure you have access to the
healthcare you need, when you need it.
6) Too many people haven’t been able to get the help they need
because the wait was too long or it cost too much, and that’s
simply unacceptable.
B. Purpose.— It is the purpose of this bill to make sure you can find a family
doctor or primary care team no matter where you live, continue
to improve access to home care and palliative care, improve access to
mental health services, make sure everyone can afford the medications
they need by taking the next steps to implement national pharma care
and make sure that tough choices when it comes to accessing mental
health support or the prescription drugs you need will be avoided.
SECTION 3. Healthcare
A. Reduce the cost of prescription drugs by linking innovation-friendly

policies to price concessions - the process of drug development is
uncertain and expensive, but there are many ways to reduce both the
risk of failure and the cost of innovation that don’t require allowing
drug companies to charge exorbitant prices. In past, for example, US
Congress created tax credits to offset research costs. And remove
obstacles to competition from generics.
B. Bring down out-of-pocket costs like copays and deductibles. (This will
be partly solved by Pirates’ bill, where they wrote something about it).
Moreover, though:
1) We will encourage insurance companies to be clear about what
they actually fund and reimburse for their clients. The new
Patients’ Ombudsman (we will present it in the next bill) will
oversee this.
2) We will inform people how to lower their deductibles and outof-
pocket expenses, for instance by going to ambulance instead of
urgent care, using telemedicine (which is less expensive than
visit), knowing how to correct bill error etc.
C. Work to fully implement the National HIV/AIDS Strategy to combat
spread of HIV/AIDS by different proposal (some of them are included
in the Pirates’ bill such as free testing and sexual education at school).
There should be special discussion for that though.
D. Invest in research to fully prevent HIV and AIDS spread with 0,5% of
Health Ministry’s budget.
E. Expand insurance coverage services for autism, Down’s syndrome
patients and other such people from autistic spectrum (Asperger’s and
Pervasive Developmental Disorder) by reimbursing therapy and
recovery process.
F. Invest more in research to deepen our understanding of autism,
Down´s syndrome and other such disorders that will be given to
research and psychological centers with 0,4% of Health Ministry’s
budget.
G. Increase employment opportunities for individuals with autism,
Down’s syndrome and other people from autistic spectrum (Asperger’s
and Pervasive Developmental Disorder) by lowering taxes for
businesses that employ such people.
H. Keep students with autism, Down’s syndrome and other from autistic
spectrum safe at school by opening options for people with learning
disabilities to choose either mainstream schools with support or
specialised schools.
I. Let’s empower teachers to implement programs to teach adolescents
about drug use and addiction by special emphasizes at school (mostly
on chemistry and biology lessons as well as lectures organized by
schools.
J. Substance use disorders are chronic diseases, and recovery is only
possible through effective and ongoing care—not neglect or
stigmatization. Everyone who needs treatment and ongoing support
have to be able to get it. We must invest in our recovery community
organizations to secure accessibility to palliative care, for instance, by
rising wages of palliative workers with 0,6% of Health Ministry’s
budget.
SECTION 4. Primary health centers:
A. CDU sees the importance of primary care and wants to invest greatly
with 2,5% of Health Ministry’s budget in primary care. This is for 4
main reasons:
1) Hospital staff will not be burdened as much.
2) Patients will save a lot of money and a lot of time.

3) Hospitals and Nyrmod will save much by not putting all
patients in big hospitals.
4) It will be reachable and healthy for all.

B. The staff of hospitals is one of the world’s most hard-working groups.
They must be protected and unburdened as much as possible.
Hospitals will primarily be used for emergency care and long-term
care. The quality of that work will drop if the hospitals are burdened
with smaller events that doesn’t need specialist healthcare.
C. Hospitals cost a lot and by reducing the time of visits by patients, the
cost goes down. If patients would have been cared about in primary
health centers, it will cost a lot less and take less time for the patients
and staff.
D. As stated in the previous paragraph, the cost of hospitals falls by a lot if
they are unburdened by primary health care, hence, it will cost
immensely less for the state and there will be more to spend on the
people of Nyrmod.
SECTION 6. Vaccines:
A. People MUST get vaccinated against all potentially life-threatening

conditions (measles, whooping cough, polio, tetanus and hepatitis B)
and for free.
B. People above the age of 65 will be prioritized in giving vaccines (of
course, for free). There must be exceptions though, like 60 years old
people with preexisting conditions (diabetes, chronic heart disease).
1) First group: People of age 18+ with preexisting conditions.

2) Second group: People above the age of 65+ without preexisting
conditions.
3) Third group: All medical staff + social workers.
4) Fourth group: Other frontline workers (critical infrastructure)

5) Fifth group: All people above 18 (as far as no vaccine has proven
to be without side effects in groups under 18 years old)
SECTION 7. Cancer prevention
A. Every 2 years, all adult people will be able to test themselves for the
most common cancers for free (including breast, testicular, cervical
and prostate cancer) in hospitals.
B. We will definitely invest more in research about cancer and best treatments
for it. These investments will be given to research centers that are
specialized for it. 1% of Health Ministry’s budget will be used for that.
SECTION 8. Mental health investment
A. The government will increase funding for both mental health research,
treatment and for medical centers that are qualified to treat and
diagnose such patients.
SECTION 9. Helping healthcare worldwide
A. The government will fund WHO wisely and all funds will be controlled
how are they spent. This will definitely not include any bureaucracy –
we will just regularly need information about spending our taxpayers´
money in WHO. Anything can be funded though.
SECTION 10. This legislation proposal shall take effect on the day of its signature.
Attest:
His Honourable,
President Rhys
