Bill > H4148

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to Article I of the South Carolina Constitution by adding a new section that establishes healthcare as a fundamental right for every individual in the state. Specifically, the amendment would guarantee that healthcare will be provided and fully funded by the State of South Carolina. To implement this proposed change, the resolution requires that the amendment be submitted to qualified voters at the next general election, with a ballot question that asks voters whether they support adding this healthcare right to the state constitution. Voters will be asked to vote "Yes" or "No" on the proposed amendment, with those voting in favor marking a box next to "Yes" and those voting against marking a box next to "No". If approved by voters, this would be a significant expansion of constitutional rights in South Carolina, effectively making healthcare a guaranteed state-provided service rather than a service that individuals must currently obtain through private or existing public insurance options.
