Governments should not have to provide care or financial support for elderly people because it is the responsibility of each person to prepare for retirement and support him or herself.

Some people believed that governments have no duty to help senior citizens because
that is
 their own responsibility. In my opinion, I completely disagree with the idea that taking elderly is not the affair of state. On the one hand, pensioner does not have the ability to live by themselves. Because old people are physically

 and are financially incapacitated. Beside that, they are considered as a burden on their children so they often ignored and abandoned by their children.
For example
, if their children do not look after or leave them, the governments would provide them with the facility of old age homes, where they could spend quality time with the people of

Consequently
, senior citizens need not only the money, but
also
 the sate’s help deal with these chronic conditions.
On the other hand
, a large figure of elderly people does not have the opportunities to support for their retirement. Due to the circumstance in the past, incalculable sum of people could not access to the standard living condition, education when they were adolescents.
Moreover
, being street people means they are easily infected with many diseases and they do not have enough budget afford to cure these sort of conditions. In conclusion, a lot of elderly people are not able to take care of themselves,
therefore
, I believe that the state should support them with the medical care and financial support.
