Vote Against GA resolution Freedom To Seek Medical Care


General Assembly Vote Recommendation

Part of the Information for WA Voters program

Resolution at Vote: Freedom To Seek Medical Care
Vote Recommendation: Against

Resolution Analysis
While well intentioned to ensure that people could travel wherever necessary to receive medical care, the resolution unfortunately has a major flaw. Currently, GA 389 provides for the creation of quarantines to ensure patients infected with serious illnesses do not spread said illness elsewhere. If this proposal were to pass, and later on GA 389 were to be repealed, no further legislation to ensure nations could quarantine infectious patients could be created. This could lead to a serious gap in disease prevention and isolation that would threaten citizens of WA nations. A fix is available, however, which would require a resubmission. Instead of saying "restrictions previously imposed by the General Assembly" in Clause 1, saying "extant General Assembly resolutions" would leave the door open to ensuring the safety of citizens of World Assembly nations by permitting future legislation. We hope that the author resubmits this resolution with the proposed fix, but in the meantime...

The Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote against the resolution.
