One of the consequences of improved medical care is that people are living longer and life expectancy is increasing. Do you think the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

Healthcare is a fundamental need of the citizens of a
country
 as
this
 sector is related to their physiological and psychological well-being. Every year
government
 spends a proportion of its budget on medical
care
 and research. The purpose of doing
this
 is to conduct empirical research on the vaccines and medication that can wipe out as many diseases as possible. With the advancement of medical
care
, people now live longer and there are many advantages brought by the improvement in medical
care
 and increased
life
expectancy
. In my opinion, these advantages outweigh the disadvantages. By improving the medical
care
, a
country
 will have fewer death cases caused by fatal diseases. With the advancement in technology, there are vaccines for many fatal diseases. The invention of the vaccine is all devoted to the
government
 for spending some of the public money on medical
care
. The longer
life
expectancy
 gives us the opportunity to serve our
country
 for a longer period and
this
 will let us enjoy our
life
 here on Earth. Longer
life
 is a symbol of the development of a
country
. Many professionals like teachers, politician, researchers, mathematicians, writers and so on can contribute more to their matured and older ages. The longer
life
expectancy
 will let the grandparents spend more time their grandsons and granddaughters and that will let them teach values and traditions. The new generation would
also
 learn past
history which

history, which
 is important in shaping future of a
country
.
On the contrary
, there will be a scarcity of resources if
life
expectancy
 keeps on increasing. Nowadays, many countries face poverty and starvation as the food production is not enough to feed all the people around the globe. When people live longer, that means there will be more people refuse to retire at an early age.
This
 will lead to unemployment for the young generation. Many fresh graduates will not be able to get a job only because experienced

 people will hold those positions.

government
 and family will have to support

 people and that would require a huge amount of money. In conclusion, longer
life
expectancy
 far outweighs the disadvantages.
Life
 is precious and the
government
 should spend more money on medical
care
 in any way possible. Some of us might disagree that longer
life
 is not
beneficial but
Accept comma addition
beneficial, but
 all of us want to live longer and contribute to our family and
country
 for as long as possible.
