In many societies in the world, the population is ageing rapidly and this is leading to an unsustainable increase in the cost of public healthcare. A nation’s population should pay for their healthcare provision in the future. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Public

healthcare

and its high costs have been a heated topic of discussion in recent years. In a world where life expectancy is increasing, some believe that health care services must be free and accessible to everyone throughout their entire lives, while others argue that people should pay for the health services they might need in the future. Considering both sides of the argument, I disagree with the

second

statement and I believe public resources and the advancement of

technology

will be enough to supply peoples health service. The main reason why

healthcare

should be free is that public resources should be enough to supply the demand for people with illnesses. Though some people argue that public resource is not enough, the amount of

money

collected through taxes by the

government

should be more than enough to deal with

this

issue. The

government

taxes every single taxpayer roughly 45% of their income with the promise to provide essential services to the country;

however

, in recent years the

government

seems to have been mismanaging the

money

collected

thus

creating a structural imbalance in the

government

balance sheet and creating the impression of lack of

money

. A simple example of

this

imbalance, is the cases of corruption bein uncovered and documented by the news. Have the

government

been honest with people’s

money

, public resources would be in order and it would be enough to provide better and more free services.

Therefore

, the problem of

healthcare

is not its high cost per se, but the mismanagement of public resources. That being said, the advancement of

technology

is another reason to support free and accessible

healthcare

services. People that believe

healthcare

should be paid often insist that the

money

is to be directed towards equipment and medication that are very high priced, but they fail to consider that in the near future those will be much cheaper due to technological advancement. The price to produce a pill or to perform

surgery will decrease at the same pace as the

technology

increases.

For instance

, it is easy to remember when, not too long ago, the cost for a thermometer or headache pill were much higher than they are today, and

that is

because today with the

technology

available is much easier to produce medical tools, equipment, and medication.

Therefore

, proving the fact that free

healthcare

is achievable. In conclusion,

healthcare

is a topic that diverges opinions and both sides have valid arguments.

However

, free

healthcare

is feasible when the ones in power decide to act to keep the finances in order while

also

investing in

technology
