Essay topic
is:
Government is
responsible for providing good medical facilities to the public. Medical
facilities should be made free of cost. To extent do you agree or disagree.
Technology has spread its roots in each and every sphere of
life. Recent surveys have shown that death rates have diminished drastically
due to good health facilities and advancement in equipment and practices.
Someone has rightly said that health is wealth. If wealth is lost nothing is
lost everything is lost.
I disagree with the notion that medical aid should be made
free of cost. Government of any country is responsible to look after the health
of the public but there are many other areas which require attention by the
government. This includes the education, employment, research, manufacture, infrastructure
and many more. Moreover, Government already spends a lot in research,
importation and installation of new and sophisticated machinery and medicines.
Recruitment of well trained and qualified staff is also government’s
responsibility. Therefore, if medical facilities are made free of cost then it
would enforce loads of burden on the government which might in turn come up as
a huge burden on the people in the form of increased education fees or
increased taxes or in any other form. Rich and developed countries also do not
provide free of cost services to their citizens. Also it has been seen that
free services are often devalued by the people.
Some people believe that medical facility should be made free
for the public. By doing so, poor people might get some help. Also everyone
would be able to access the best medical attention and services for free at all
times. But already primary health services are being delivered free by the
government irrespective of social, economic or racial status. There are many
medicines and vaccines that are also administered free to the public.
In my point of view, advanced health services should be
charged from the people so that government can use that money in upgrading the
facilities and invest in research. Also this would not levy an unnecessary
burden on the government. The government would be able to take care of each and
every area efficiently.
