In Britain, when someone gets old they often go to live in a home with other old people where there are nurses to look after them. Sometimes the government has to pay for this care. Who do you think should pay for this care, the government or the family?

Different nations

care

for their ageing population differently. Some nations take full responsibility while others leave it to the families to take

care

of their old ones. In Britain, the

government

sometimes pays to take

care

of the elderly in homes with nurses to look after them. Even though there are people that think the

government

should be responsible for the payment of

this

. Others think it should not be the responsibility of the

government

. In my own opinion, I think the

government

should be the ones in charge of

this

. There are times when an elder citizen has no one around to take

care

of them,

for example

, someone without a surviving relation. In an instance like

this

, leaving

this

kind person would result in suffering to the individual,

furthermore

, resulting in early death in most cases. But, with the

government

taking charge of the

care

, there is a chance of survival for the individual and a better life.

Also

, In other cases, a retired individual,

for instance

, someone that served and retired as a military personnel should enjoy some benefits from the

government

in their old age, so

also

, those that have worked and paid taxes all their life should benefit from these without depending on their relatives for

care

when they grow old. To conclude, I strongly believe that the

government

should take full responsibility of paying for the

care

of its older citizen, so as to give hope for the younger generation of a better life when they grow old.
