Vote For GA resolution Repeal: "Freedom to Seek Medical Care"
Resolution Analysis
Freedom to Seek Medical Care' is rather ineffective in that GAR #97 mandates that member nations must provide preventative care and other such care, as prescribed, to all people/entities who are in the country if they require such care. It should be noted that 'Freedom to Seek Medical Care' barely escaped legality challenges that would have most likely lead to a very heated debate on its interaction with GAR #97. The problem that arises with 'Freedom to Seek Medical Care' is that it promotes medical tourism when assuming that not all countries have equal care facilities. Under the current state, one may simply travel to a country with better facilities and reap the benefits of GAR #97 unhindered by any law described in the target resolution, which has to be fixed, despite the noble cause it hopes to achieve.
In accordance with the reasons stated above and in hopes that a revised version is submitted, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs reccomends a vote FOR this repeal.
