Health is the most important thing in our life; without good health we cannot do anything as we want. Now, the prices for healthcare services are increasing as the government is finding it hard to balance their budget for healthcare. With the importance of good health, the prices of these services have come into a question. Therefore, it can be argued that the government should increase their budget for healthcare to reduce the prices instead of the citizens buying private health insurance.
It can be argued that insurance is important to cover the price of healthcare services. This can be argued logically, since the insurance would cover all the cost for your health service in the hospital. However, the price of our healthcare that insurance paid to the hospital is also our money. For instance, each individual who subscribes to private health insurance should pay every month to maintain their insurance; this is the same as we pay for our bills when we get into hospital. Although the insurance helps to reduce the price, the person who subscribes must pay every month. This may lead to bankruptcy if you don’t use it for your life.
On the other hand, the government should take a part to reduce the price of healthcare by increasing the budget for it. This can be in the form of cost reduction or even free healthcare for all citizens. This is the same as buying insurance with the government money. Logically, if the government increases the budget of healthcare, the price of healthcare will decrease or become free for everyone. If this happens, people who get to the hospital do not need to think about the payment since it will be paid by the government. With this, the citizens’ healthcare can be improved and their overall wellbeing, helping to improve their countries.
In conclusion, the increase of the budget for healthcare by the government is better than the people buying health insurance since it is the same. If the government does not provide free healthcare for their citizens, they will be more desperate.
