Some people think that the government should pay for health care and education, but others believe it is not the government's responsibility. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Some people believe that it is the
government
's responsibility to cover the cost of healthcare
and education
, while
others argue it is not. I agree with the former viewpoint because government
provision of these essential services is crucial for the betterment of society
as a whole.
Those who argue that the government
should not fund medical care and education
may believe this
responsibility should fall on employers
. Given that individuals are spending a considerable portion of their lives in the workplace, it is essential for employers
to provide healthcare
and educational benefits as part of their employee compensation package, acknowledging their contributions to the organization. However
, I think that private healthcare
and education
can place an enormous financial burden on employers
, which can impact their survival and discourage entrepreneurship, especially in times of economic downturn.
On the other hand
, those in favour of government
-funded healthcare
and education
argue that it is necessary for the benefit of the whole society
. Without such
a system, people from low-income families may be denied access to higher education
and medical care. This
can prevent them from being productive and contributing members of society
and perpetuate the cycle of poverty, resulting in an inegalitarian society
. I agree with this
argument because, when examining Nordic countries such
as Sweden and Denmark, I found that they all have well-funded public healthcare
and education
systems that have helped reduce inequality and contributed to their prosperity.
In conclusion, although
it is reasonable to require employers
to provide medical care and education
for their employees, the provision of these services by the government
helps promote the overall
development of society
and therefore
is more important.Submitted by Aryan Patel on
