Some people think that public health is the responsibility of the government while others think that people should be responsible for their own health. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

It is widely argued regarding public

health

whether the

government

is held responsible or that people should take

care

of their own

health

. In my view, the

government

plays a vital role in managing the

overall

health

quality

in a

country

, but individuals

also

need to manage themselves. It is necessary for the

government

to provide

health

care

for its

residents

due to

the fact that the

government

has received taxes from taxpayers which include

residents

of the

country

;

however

, the cost of the given

health

care

might be determined based on the income of each individual.

Moreover

, the

government

has the ability to encourage a regulation which

residents

must obey.

For instance

, during the COVID-19 pandemic several years ago, the

government

released a regulation which forced all individuals within the

country

to use masks and to be clean, and,

as a result

increased.

Additionally

, an increase in

health

quality

will eventually lead to the

residents

becoming more productive which, in turn, will push the economy to grow. Even though the

government

might have provided all the basic needs for good

health

care

, everything comes down to the individual .

Residents

need to take advantage of all benefits which have been provided by the

government

. They should not only be able to take

care

of themselves

be able to maintain a healthy lifestyle,

for example

by having a healthy diet and practicing sports, so that they could avoid any illnesses in the future. In conclusion, the importance of the

in terms of maintaining the

is undoubtedly tremendous, but it is not solely
