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? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

The developed countries are known for their social security facilities that are provided to their residents. Most important facilities include medical

care

, unemployment benefits and elderly

care

. In Britain, all most all of the expenses

for

of

these facilities are paid by the

government

. More elegant examples

such

elderly

care

can be seen in Scandinavian and Nordic countries of Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway. In the recent times due to growing population, increasing medical and elderly

care

expenses and inflation, British

government

authorities are debating on whether the

government

should continue or withdraw its contribution to

elderly

related programmes. In the following, I would like to put forward my views on

this

point. Every elderly British citizen after reaching a retirement shall be taken

care

by the

government

because those senior people have contributed their share by paying taxes during their

earlier

early

years of employment.

Such

retired elderly people's family shall not be made responsible for the eventual elderly-

care

related expenses, for not every family might have the financial capability to contribute.

Instead

of collecting charges from the family, the

government

shall device contribution schemes called "Elderly

Care

Plan" (ECP) similar to pension schemes that accept contributions during the employed period. Post the employment period,

such

ECP shall have the option of accepting contributions from the family members of the aged.

Furthermore

, the employers with whom the elderly were employed with shall

also

contribute to

such

ECP on a percentage basis. In

this

way, the expenses shall be primarily born by
