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?
With advances in modern medicine, people are now able to live longer.

To begin

burden fully. With the average person making around 70000 pounds per year, individuals can barely cover the price of their own basic needs. Linking Words
For example

is to take a small percentage of taxes paid by a citizen and use it to cover healthcare costs in the future. By doing so, they can give back to the society they are meant to serve. It is essential for governments to do so, in order to achieve a well-balanced society. Remove the comma
