In the contemporary world ,health has been a major concern as it affects people's lives in many aspects.It is considered by some people, that the government should pave the path to a healthy life while others think it is an individual choice to decide.I believe it is an obligation of the government to guide people to have a healthy life as the government is created by people ,so,it should serve them to improve the quality and quantity of life.Although,individuals can make decisions on behalf of them when concerned with health it affects the whole society rather than themselves.Therefore, it is the government that should take responsibility not the individuals according to my understanding.
