In the contemporary world, opinions are divided on when making decisions on how taxes will be allocated, policymakers should give precedence to health care services for citizens or not since there are other crucial ones that need to be placed heavy emphasis on. I believe that it has to depend on what type of nations consider which options are more important than others.
On the one hand, caring about the well-being of people should be prioritized by authorities. It could be said that the foremost objective of almost anyone is to have good health, and the ability to maintain it. To this end, the money of taxpayers should be spent on not only building more state-of-the-art hospitals and schools to educate more professional doctors and nurses but also upgrading the facilities of their older clinics.
On the other hand, it is understandable why some endorse that governments should allot the resources of the taxpayers to other services which seem to be more important than the healthcare of individuals. The key rationale is that in those developed countries, such as America or England, where healthcare conditions have been put emphasis on, the money that had been paid to tax can be ploughed back into solving their environmental or poverty problems. This can do the government coffers a favor, as it helps reduce the chance of budget deficits, tax hikes, or reduced welfare.
In conclusion, I am of the opinion that for those developing and underdeveloped countries, the authorities should use the money of taxpayers to put emphasis on citizens’ healthcare. Meanwhile, for those third-world nations, they can divert these resources to other options that they believe that they are important.
