Healthcare should not be provided for free regardless of a person's income. The health of an individual is in their own hands. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The notion of providing
healthcare
based on a person’s income is one I do not agree with. Although
a person’s health
is their own responsibility, basic healthcare
needs to be made available to the public. I do not believe in a free healthcare
system, but instead
, one which is subsidized by the government, thereby protecting the middle and impoverished sections of humanity, whilst at the same time providing equal and fair treatment to the wealthy.
To begin
with, in many developing countries there are many people
living below the poverty line, who are unable to buy basic medicine for treating even the simplest of problems. The main reason for this
is the fact that many people
are uneducated, and are working low-paying jobs. For example
, in Moldova, The rationalization of duplicated specialized services, therefore
, remains a key challenge facing the health
system. Other challenges include health
workforce shortages (particularly in rural areas) and improving equity in financing and access to care by reducing out-of-pocket (OOP) payments.
Secondly
, my opinion is further
bolstered by the factor that the good health
of working employees defines the growth of the nation as employment sectors are largely responsible for proliferating the economy of the country. In this
modern and hectic lifestyle, people
are working relentlessly in various sectors such
as education, health
, agriculture, and information technology, as a consequence, the productivity of these areas leads to the development of the nation. Henceforth, to produce a healthy workforce for the betterment of the country, it is important for the government to provide healthcare
facilities. The free medical coverage for the native people
of the USA serves as the best example of this
approach.
In conclusion, while everyone is responsible for keeping themselves fit, in my perspective, the provision of medical subsidies by the government is vital not only for the financially poor people
but also
for the working professionals to uplift the economy of the country.Submitted by Nigelvictorlawrence on
