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

Good

education

and

healthcare

are

both

foundations of a strong economy and a

country

.

This

is essentially what differentiates developed nations from

third

world countries. Some people believe that

both

these services should be

governments responsibility

Suggestion

the government's responsibility

government's responsibility

. I completely disagree with

this

thought and

this

essay would highlight the reasons why these two services should not be

governments responsibility

Suggestion

the government's responsibility

government's responsibility

for everyone.

Education

and

healthcare

are

both

essential services in any

country

. Some people expect the

government

to fund

both

the services for all the citizens of the

country

.

Afterall

Suggestion

After all

the citizens pay taxes to the

government

and it is only just for people

to expect

Suggestion

expecting

these basic services to be taken care of by the

government

.

For example

, in a

country

like India, where only 4% of the entire population pay taxes and the rest of the people do not, is the reason for these people to expect these basic services to be taken care by the

government

for them. The universal fact is, not all are born equal, while some are born with a silver spoon, others are born in the clutches of poverty.

Therefore

, I believe, services

such

as

education

and

healthcare

Suggestion

health care

cannot be free for all. It should only be free for people who truly deserve it and are not financially sound to take care of it on their own.

For example

, in developing nations like India, Pakistan, Bangladesh

etcetera

, where

both

education

and

healthcare

Suggestion

health care

system is weak, it is not practical to put burden completely on the

government

. To conclude, I would like to state,

both

education

and

healthcare

services in any

country

should be sponsored by the

government

for weaker sections of the society and not for the entire population of the

country

.
