A much debated issue these days is whether the government should take responsibility on for providing free health services for all citizens or for individuals to take out their own private health insurance. premium, as The advance of medical equipments equipment and new treatments comes along with the increasing cost for newer treatments options. In this essay I will discuss about who should take the main responsibility for medical service costs. (Hospitals and doctors provide medical service. You are discussing the costs of medical care.)
Firstly, those who can afford to pay for health insurance premiums should, at their own expenses expense, protect themselves from unforeseen circumstances such as accidents or illnesses (Medical insurance doesn't protect one from accidents - it pays for the cost of medical care.). By paying for their private health insurance, they are insured to paying lesser or even nothing at all when such incident occurs (I don't understand this part.). In addition, the health insurance they are paying usually entitles them to choosing choose their own doctors or preferred hospitals.
On the other hand, subsidize a subsidy from the government should be provided as a form of relief from the the high expenses of treatments to those who earn lesser less and for those those suffering from chronic illnesses. For example, a lung cancer treatment usually stretches over a long period of time and cost a lot.
In conclusion, those who can afford to pay paying for health insurance should take responsibility to insure them themselves from the high cost of medical services when needed. And subsidize A subsidy should be provided to citizens who earns earn lesser less so that they can receive an equal quality of treatment in order for them to get back to the workforce So...the main reason for medical care is to get people back to work? .
