In some countries, citizens must pay a lot of money in taxes, but education and healthcare are free. Do the advantages of this situation outweigh the disadvantages

In some parts of the world, residents are obligated to pay substantial taxes; despite that, the government covers the costs of

education

and healthcare services.

Although

it can be burdensome for the citizens, it would be beneficial for individuals because those services are essential for individuals. In

this

essay, I will discuss why the positive sides far outweigh the negative sides of

this

situation. The prominent advantages of

this

condition are

education

and

health

a primary factor in increasing the quality of life. If we require an acceptable amount of money so that the authorities can offer us free access to

education

and

health

for a lifetime, it is worth it to do. People can get equitable services and treatments and it can reduce the inequity in society.

As a result

, it can enhance the economy and the

health

rate of the residents.

For example

, the cost of treatment for chronic ailments like heart disease is very expensive in Indonesia. If these costs are not provided by the government and the individual can not afford it as well,

then

it can lead to death.

However

, in different cases, many individuals can be cured without the need to think about the cost.

On the other hand

, the coins have two sides. One primary adverse consequence of

this

tendency is the increase in the amount of money required to pay the tax and it would burden the taxpayers.

Moreover

, it

also

potentially leads to the risk of government inefficiency in raising the quality of

education

and

health

system

due to

lack of competition in the market.

As a result

, the

education

and healthcare

system

would grow slowly and not have many improvements year by year.

For instance

, in Indonesia, the authorities issue a free

education

system

from elementary to high

school

.

However

, the quality of the public

school

is not as good as private schools that need to pay. The public

school

is a bit behind in part of curriculum and practical learning.

Consequently

, many public

school

students do not have the same opportunities as private

school

students

such

as exchange students with

school

abroad. The increased amount of tax to get a free

education

and healthcare

system

has virtues and drawbacks and in

this

essay, I discuss both of them and consider everything. In conclusion, I am inclined to say that,

overall

, the benefits of

this

phenomenon are better.
