Welcome! If the Senate, or the Administration have anything for me to address, I am more than happy to assist.

Sorry I haven't been active, I have a very busy weekend. By Monday, I will try to get right on that.

I will do some research on the implementation of this act, is there anything specifically the Senate needs to know about this?

The Department of Internal Affairs, shall monitor the implementation of this bill, and will report any applicable agencies who do not implement this legislation.

Basically it is an opportunity so to speak for you to "simulate" a problem(s) during the transition and then communicate that to us. Also any issues pertaining coverage of veterans as it pertains to Mental Health that would arise. There will likely be text on this matter added to the Mental Health Reform bill, thus making your job all the more difficult, most likely. What that text will look like at this point, I don't know exactly.

The Syrian/Jordan refugee aid bill's implementation will be monitored by the DoIA, and the Department of Internal Affairs will report the implementation of said bill to the Senate.

I have started to compose some texts for the Mental Health bill, many of which involve the Department in some way. I would appreciate a response what what is practical and what is not practical from your perspective, as well as any other feedback you have. I will have some more to post on it, so it will be a work in progress.

Could you clarify how much authority the regions have over healthcare policy? I see that Fritzcare sets up CHPs as public sector corporations with borders the same as the regions, but how much regional authority do the regional governments have over those?

As the current SoIA, I would like to give my personal point of view on that issue. CHPs are independent public companies, for this reason, Regional Governments have as many powers as the Federal Government on that matter: none. They are controlled by a board of physicians, medical specialists and the folks from the healthcare industry, and Governor don't have much power on that.

Maybe, we should take a look at reforming that. What makes Medicare in Canada interesting and greater is because each Province has its own way to deal with its own programs, maybe we could have that in Atlasia. However, we may not forget what happened with Medicaid in real life, where empowering states on that matter wasn't really good...

The example you cite about medicaid, would minimum coverage standards or possibly goals in some way tied to a financial incentive have worked to encourage the states to increase coverage. As it worked out must just ended up cutting it two recessions in a row to avoid raising taxes, partially because they have balanced budget amendments.

Also, the Mental Health bill includes some requirements for the CHPs, have you reviewed these changes as well at this juncture?

Now that you are saying that, I don't know if we can actually order something to the CHPs. They look to me as public but independent institutions...

In fact, I have read the Mental Health Reform Act and I noticed that there is no need to reform the CHPs at all. The reason why I say this is because you are just requiring the CHPs to fill a Board with some members, you are not changing the CHPs structure, you are just asking here to do you a favor Tongue
