Serving citizens is the topmost responsibility of any government. While some arguments that spending public money on promoting healthy lifestyle is essential than treating people who already ill. But in my perspective, I do not completely agree with this view.
On the one hand, it is seriously crucial for spending government budget on promoting healthy lifestyle. The percentage of disease of citizens will be reduced when they practice healthy lifestyle, such as eating nutritious food, doing exercise. People’s health is guaranteed, the quality of work will be reach highly effective. Therefore, it makes a significant contribution to the development of country. Additionally, maintaining healthy lifestyle not only saves money for individuals but also the government. Living healthy will help avoid risk of diseases, then decreasing hospital fees and health insurance. It is an opportunity for individuals get better and the government more developed.
On the other hand, investing money in treating illness for patient is equally important. many patients with serious diseases can not pay hospital fees, because the cost of treatment is too high. for this reason, the government needs assists to help so they can have an opportunity to live. Furthermore, some people with infectious diseases have no finance for money. If the state do not help them, the disease may continue to spread to others. It leads to danger for the community.
In conclusion, investing public money in promoting healthy lifestyle and treating for patient are extremely important. I argue that government budget should emphasis for both.
