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? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
In Britain, at old-aged
people
start to live in care
homes where there are other old people
and they are all taken care
of by the nurses, while
the government
bears the cost
of this
care
at times and the family of the old people
also
bear the cost
. I am of the opinion that the government
should bear a majority of the cost
because they have been able to generate enough revenue from the taxes that were paid by these old people
during their service years.
Firstly
, the cost
of taking care
of the aged people
should be paid for by the government
of Britain. This
cost
consists of the salary of the nurses, other administrative staff in the home and the total welfare of the old living in the home. For example
, feeding, medication, and regular checkup fees. Support from the family can be done voluntarily but the major bills should be paid by the government
Furthermore
, the government
should bear these costs because they have been able to generate revenue from the taxes paid by most of these aged people
during their service years. During the prime productive period of a Britain resident, a particular percentage of your income is deducted from your wages or salary depending on the structure you are been paid with. This
deduction goes to the government
as your taxes. Therefore
, a lot of money would have been generated from every tax paid and still been paid by the young people
in service. Some of these can be used to care
for the well-being of the old people
in our society. For instance
, a certain amount is also
paid to the less privileged who are also
beneficiaries of the government
alongside the retired people
.
In conclusion, families should be encouraged to take their old parents and relatives to
home becauseChange preposition

government
will bear a majority of the cost
through the revenue generated over the years.Submitted by omolefeyikemi on
