Researching and treating diseases is too costly so it would be better to invest in preventative measures. To what extent do you agree?

It is often argued that curing and researching

illnesses

is too expensive and investing in preventative

measures

would be more beneficial.

However

, while I believe that the prices of medical care are actually too exorbitant, I don’t think preventative

measures

will be benign in some instances. With regards to the individuals, the preventative

measures

that medical organizations usually offer have clear advantages. If people were to take their health more seriously and put prevention actions into use, it would be less costly for them in the future.

For instance

, research has shown that in many countries people only pay attention to their health issues when it has reached its maturing state.

Furthermore

, if our community follows these

measures

, there will be no need to spend a lot of money on treatment.

On the other hand

, actions aimed at preventing potential ailments do not usually work. There are many other

diseases

that are difficult to detect and avert at an early stage. Cancer is a prime example of

this

, along with hereditary

diseases

that can occur at any stage of a person’s life. These

illnesses

are nearly impossible to prevent when the disease has already taken a toll on a patient’s well-being. On

this

occasion, preventative

measures

will not result in anything and might even worsen over time. To conclude,

although

curing already existing

illnesses

is already too costly, investing in

measures

to thwart potential

diseases

will not be helpful in many cases.

Illnesses

,

such

as cancer or some hereditary

diseases

are hard to be prevented at an earlier stage of development.
