Some people think the government should pay for health care and education, but there is no agreement about whether it is the government’s responsibility. What is your opinion?
There are a controversial perspectives heating up a debate over the fact that whether the authority should make an investment in medical care and the education system. While some hold a strong view that the state ought to bear the financial burden of the healthcare system and schooling, the opposite makes a statement that allocating money to healthcare and education is not the accountability of the government. In my opinion, I would contend that the governors had better cover the cost of the medical system and people’s learning journey but they shouldn’t fully pour money into both mentioned factors.
