‘Healthcare should always be funded by governments, and it should always be free for people to use.’ To what extent do you agree or disagree with this idea?

Medical

facilities

always play a predominant role in the development of a nation as a whole. It is often believed by some individuals that regimes should give these

facilities

for free and should bear all the charges by themselves.I partially agree with the statement and I will elaborate my views in the subsequent verses. To commence with some reasons why hospitals should give free treatment to the public,

first

of all,

people

with middle-class and below poverty line status cannot afford expensive

treatments

for their diseases so they should be given

facilities

of getting their

treatments

for free.

For example

, diseases like cancer, brain tumour, heart surgeries require a lot of money.

Secondly

, it might help in balancing the society as now only affluent and wealthy

people

are getting the best healthcare facility and they are fit and healthy whereas poor

people

suffer from more diseases and can not get better

treatments

. So, if they get a chance to have free treatment

then

everyone in the community will be healthy. On the flip side, if the ministry will start bearing all the cost of medical

facilities

provided to their citizen

then

it will adversely the government's budget as they will have to spend a lot of their money in the medical field which they can use for other purposes like building roads and schools in their nation.

Moreover

, rich

people

do not need

this

cost-free service because they have enough money to get expensive healthcare

treatments

but if

this

facility is been available to all the citizens

then

affluent

people

will

also

try to exploit it. To conclude, no doubt

this

is a good approach for the development of a country but lawmakers should stringently set some rules of just giving it to

people

who cannot afford these

facilities

.
