Government should not have to provide care or financial support for elderly people because it is the responsibility of each person to prepare for retirement and support him or herself. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion.

In many countries, the government provides financial and

health

care

support

for

elders

while some people argue that they should take

care

of themself and not waste tax. Supporting them after their retirement is helping not only helps the

elders

but

also

eases the burden from their relatives, especially their kids and helps in public order.

Therefore

, I strongly disagree discontinue supporting both

health

care

and finance for the

elders

.

First

of all,

health

care

is crucial when you get older. After retirement, they are likely to visit doctors more frequently according to research.

However

, they need help from their relatives to get them there because when they grow older their bodies degrade and make it hard for them to travel by themself.

For example

, their eyes got blurred and they cannot drive anymore and they cannot take public transport because they cannot effort to stand for long or walk for a long distance.

Hence

, their relatives need to take a leave from work to bring them to the doctor and

that is

a load government can ease by supporting essential

health

care

such

as remotely annual

health

checks for

elders

.

Therefore

, providing

health

support

can ease some burden on salarymen.

Secondly

, financial relief is

also

needed for the

elders

. After they leave their working period, their revenue decreases due to salary disappearance.

Although

some people may still have their savings or earnings from interest and dividends, some people have nothing and are desperate for help. If the government can provide enough money for the basic need, the

elders

would live through the harsh days and cause fewer problems to society.

For instance

, if the

elders

got enough to eat and got a place to stay, they would not sleep and not beg for coins on the street.

Hence

, providing financial

support

can avoid public disorder. In conclusion, I greatly disagree to cut both financial and

health

support

which could result in public order problems and put more stress on the working force.
