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?

It is true that some senior citizens'

. While others believe that the family should take the ultimate responsibility for that. I personally believe that senior citizens have been paying taxes and some of them devoted their lives for the prosperity of the country,

thus

of them when necessary. To commence, the elderly have been paying taxes during their working lives, that should be used for their

after they retire. It is not right for the

Secondly

, if young individuals know that the

government

will take

care

of them, they will be free of thoughts about financially securing their retirement and can focus on being more productive at the workplace and keep paying the taxes.

, oftentimes elderly

due to the condition of their health.

However

, family members may not be trained for that.

For instance

, they may be prescribed to have a strict diet, or weak health may be the reason for heart attacks.

Therefore

, senior citizens should be allocated to nursing homes.
