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?

Health

problems are the most common in everyone's life. It is true that one is responsible for his/her own

health

in most of the cases.

However

,

this

essay completely disagrees with the statement that

health

care should not be provided for free irrespective of earnings.

This

essay echos the opinion stated by two supportive ideas

first

, the cost involved in modern day's

health

amenities, and

second

, the external factors affecting a

person

's heath.

Firstly

, the expenditure spent on modern-day

health

care systems is exorbitant.

For example

, the salary of an average

person

in India is 75 rupees (1 dollar) a day. If an individual is hospitalised, his/her income will not be sufficient to meet the contemporary standards of medical treatment. The government needs to analyse

this

situation and come up with some special packages in order to help public-

health

, they should not only consider free medical therapy for some pay slabs but

also

bill wavier depending on the patient's standard.

Secondly

, a human is responsible for his/her own

health

,

however

,

this

need not hold true always. It is possible that because of some other's fault wide group of people may be affected.

For Instance

, let us take the example of Bhopal gas leak tragedy that happened in 1984, where an employee's fault to not inspect the gas pipelines properly has allowed to spread the gas in the entire city. Here, everyone had to suffer because of a single worker's negligence. In situations like these, it is essential to have free medical attention irrespective of salaries of patients. To summarize, it is not always that

person

's

health

is in his hands and the costs for medical attention nowadays is too higher than the

person

's income standards. These are the main factors why

this

essay disagrees to not having free medication at all. Upon detailed analysis, it can be said that the Government should consider free treatment and wavier of patient's bill based on income slabs for the greater good of the public.
