Should education and healthcare be free of charge and funded by the government, or should it be the responsibility of the people to pay for these services?

Nowadays, without

education

and health, society may not flourish and survive;

however

, deciding who is to provide

this

is a sensitive topic. In my opinion, up to tenth standard

education

and basic

healthcare

should be funded by the

government

and beyond

this

would be the responsibility of citizens.

This

essay will discuss these two points in the following paragraphs.

To begin

with, it should be the

government

who is responsible to allocate funds to provide free learning up to Matriculation and basic health care facility.

This

is because the cost of high school

education

is usually minimized, and it is possible for even developing nations manage funds for it.

For example

, Germany, which is considered of having a better quality of

education

, does provide free learning system till an end of tenth standard.

As a result

, they have a high-ratio of the literate population.

Secondly

, it’s the right of all the citizens to acquire basic and emergency medical services.

For instance

, in the USA, it’s the basic right of every citizen to availed free

healthcare

treatment.

Consequently

, people have better conditions of health.

On the other hand

, higher

education

and expensive medical treatments should be paid by citizens themselves. University

education

is usually expensive and it is,

therefore

not reliable for the

government

to pay for it, as tax payers money should be utilized in a more balanced way.

Hence

, it becomes the citizens who would pay.

Also

, there are medical cases which are having high-cost and eventually

government

should not be complied to fund it. As an example, there are some medical surgeries like, Lung transplant, Liver transplant, etc. For which individuals should manage amount. Seen in

this

light, it is obvious, that not all

healthcare

and

education

related facilities are the domain of the

government

, and people should contribute to it. To conclude,

education

and

healthcare

facilities are the dire requirement of a society.

Although

, it is the responsibility of a

government

to utilize some percentage of its budget for developing an educated and healthy nation, citizens are obliged to pay with their own when the fund required is exorbitant.
