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?

People

have different opinions about one issue,

such

as if it is the duty of the

government

to fund old

age

homes

or if it's one of the responsibilities that should be taken up by the family. I unequivocally agree with the opinion that the

government

plays a bigger role

due to

two reasons. The first reason is that not many can afford to hire nurses . And

secondly

, I believe that the taxes we pay should help with free healthcare for the elderly. In a country like India, where 40% of the population lives below the poverty line, even making ends meet would be a challenge. In

such

cases,

people

cannot afford to send their elderly to old

age

homes

.

Therefore

, without the necessary proper care, survival for them would become difficult.

For example

,a study published by the University of Texas in 2020, stated that

people

who join old

age

homes

are happier which has thereby increased their life expectancy by a couple more years.

Hence

, as all lives matter the

government

should allocate money to building free old

age

homes

.

Moreover

, the tax we pay for almost 30 years, must include the benefits of getting free healthcare after a particular

age

. The majority of

people

's work has helped the society and nation to progress,

in addition

to developing the country

further

.

Therefore

, the

government

must take additional steps to take good care of their citizens once they become old. In conclusion, the

government

should take requisite and pragmatic stances to allocate money to old

age

homes

with well-trained nurses, as many deserve proper care during their final years.
