Some people say that governments should pay for public health care and education, while others say that it is not the government’s responsibility. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Public services like
health

care
and Use synonyms
education
are generally assumed to be paid by governments while there are some opposite opinions that citizens should Use synonyms
also
bear part of the expenses. From my perspective, residents should shoulder the main responsibility for medical and educational services.
On the one hand, those who advocate the state provision of Linking Words
health
Use synonyms
care
and Use synonyms
education
have their own arguments. Since it is the fact that the Use synonyms
government
raises financing primarily from taxpayers’ income, these facilities should be provided for its citizens in return. By covering these costs, the authority could Use synonyms
also
guarantee that every resident is given the basic rights, Linking Words
thus
help in the alleviation of inequity between areas. Linking Words
However
, what Linking Words
this
argument overlooks is that in most countries, only salaried people are being taxed; Linking Words
therefore
the over-exploitation of Linking Words
government
incentives will in fact add a heavy burden on these residents.
Use synonyms
On the other hand
, I strongly believe that the cost of Linking Words
health
Use synonyms
care
and Use synonyms
education
should be covered by the citizens themselves. One main rationale is that too much support from the Use synonyms
government
may lead to a greater dependence of the public and improper utilization of these services. If residents were required to pay their shares of the cost, they would become more responsible. Use synonyms
For example
, paying for medical charges will result in people being aware of their Linking Words
health
condition and adopting a healthy lifestyle. Use synonyms
In addition
, when citizens bear their own expenses, it would release some financial burden on the governments and they will have more budgets to spend on other areas that are more in need.
In conclusion, while it is argued that the Linking Words
government
should allocate funds for Use synonyms
health
Use synonyms
care
and Use synonyms
education
, I believe that these expenses should be the responsibility of citizens themselves.Use synonyms
