Health care should not be provided for free regardless of a person’s income. The health of a person is in their own hands and they should, therefore, be held accountable for that. Do you agree with this statement?

In some developed countries, there is a trend of costless healthcare benefits, regardless of the person’s income. I believe that there are some cases where

this

free medical care facility is disadvantageous to the general public,

however

, in other aspects it is quite acceptable.

Firstly

, I will explain how it has negative effects on society, and

secondly

, the positive side of

this

scheme will be examined. On one hand,

this

policy of free health service creates a negative stigma in society, as well as, increases the cost of living. To

further

explain, not charging for the medical treatments has a wrong impact on the public as they become least bothered about their well-being.

Also

, funds allocated to the healthcare system by the administration is a part of the money paid by tax-payers towards the government, and

this

puts the burden on the mass.

For example

, as dental care is free in our country, fewer people are interested in maintaining oral health to avoid consulting dentists.

On the other hand

, there are various viral diseases which are inevitable despite being health conscious, and in that scenario, a person should enjoy the benefits of these schemes.

In addition

, people are not reluctant in getting medical attention if provided free, and

this

sometimes assists in alleviating the spread of communicable illnesses.

For instance

, coronavirus started engulfing the whole world, and due to the free medical facilities provided by various states, people cooperated with governing bodies to control it. To conclude, free medical attention brings the carelessness in the society,

moreover

, it leads to the rising expenditures.

In contrast

,

this

policy has a strong advantage of letting people come Infront to restrict the spread of some viral sicknesses.
