In Britain, when someone gets old they often go to live in a home with other old people where there are nurses to look after them. Sometimes the government has to pay for this care. Who do you think should pay for this care, the government or the family? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

There is currently a contentious debate over whether the

government

or families should be responsible for paying asylum for the elderly. I firmly believe

this

is a family's duty, and

this

essay presents reasons to support my opinion. The main reason why I believe it is not a

government

's responsibility is that there is no budget for

this

purpose.

This

is because the

government

spend a lot of

money

on universal health care and retirement funds and, as a consequence , the budget is always in a shortage. To illustrate, in Britain, spendings on health care and retirement pensions represents almost half of the budget.

In addition

, one of the spendings aforementioned is in retirement funds, which means that old people already receive a payment from the

government

. That being said,

this

money

should be used to cover the costs of well-being and treatments.

Furthermore

, I believe the families should save fund to pay for

this

kind of home, if necessary.

This

is due to the fact that no one cares more about our relatives than ourselves. I think the best option,

for instance

, is to start planning

this

situation years ahead and save a specif amount of

money

every month.

Also

, people should stop relying on the

government

for everything because, in the long term, the shortage of

money

will be higher, and even health care and pension funds are going to be compromised. In conclusion, I strongly believe that relatives should be responsible for covering the costs of homes for the elderly.

This

is because the

government

does not have enough

money

to pay it, and everyone knows what is the best treatment our relatives deserve,

therefore

we should pay it.
