In Britain ,when someone gets pld,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? Give your reasons ?

It is said that in Britain, elderly

people

tend to live in elderly

care

homes where caregivers are available to take

care

of them.On several occasions, the state has to bare the

cost

of

this

.I believe that the

government

needs to pay

this

type of service due to older

people

had already paid a high amount of money as a tax to the state and serviced to their society during their working age and nursing of elders is too expensive for families. When a person gets older, they need support from someone to look after them.

This

is because most of them have several health problems and physical weaknesses .

However

,the

government

should not forget the contribution of these

people

to the country's development when they are young and how much they have paid to the

government

as taxes.If they have saved that money in their savings account,that would be enough to live a comfortable life in their older age and look after themselves.

This

proves that the

government

has a responsibility to look after elders by paying them back even a caregiving fee.

For instance

,in the UK,every employee must pay an income tax and for health insurance and I believe that part of

this

pay should allocate to look after when they aged. Another significant reason that the high

cost

of elderly

care

service .If the

government

does not pay for

this

,

then

families have to pay the bills of health

care

and personal assistance

care

for elders.

This

is very costly to afford for the family as they

also

have a high

cost

of living as taxpayers.

For example

, recent research done by a charity in London revealed that an average nursing

care

home

cost

for an individual is nearly the full

cost

of living for a couple in London. To conclude,I think that older

people

need to be taken

care

of by the

government

as they have served their country and paid taxes during their working age,while elderly

care

cosy is highly expensive for families .
