disadvantages and advantages of universal healthcare.[781]

Money has always been a controversial topic when it comes to every aspect of life, and

themselves. From my perspective, I am more convinced of the latter opinion. In what follows, both views will be discussed and I will give relevant evidence to substantiate my stance. On the one hand, it is argued by some that

However

As a result

of medical treatment.
On the other hand

, I myself believe that universal
healthcare

causes more problems rather than helps solve the existing ones. First of all, free medical treatment would raise

for the federal government and, in turn, taxpayers. To illustrate, the government’s budget is limited and it could not cover all expenses from medical care.
As a consequence

, the authorities would have to establish new financing mechanisms
such

at all.
Secondly

, free

may create inaquedacy to meet increased demand from patients. In fact, when

have to pay for their medicine, the demand is controlled which guarantees the supply of doctors and equipment.
In contrast

, a single-payer system would result in an unprecedented disparity between demand and supply, resulting in

of bribery or corruption as well. In conclusion,
while

universal medicine might have certain positive impacts on humankind, it still lacks the ability to overshadow the problems it may cause.
Although

do not have to pay for their treatments, I think practicality should be taken into consideration first.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
