有些人認為政府應該為醫(yī)療和教育買單,但其他人認為這不是政府的責任。討論兩種觀點并給出你的意見。
思路解析:
國家醫(yī)療的好處1:一個免費的醫(yī)療系統(tǒng)有利于社會的穩(wěn)定。如果只是富人能享受醫(yī)療,而窮人不停遭受疾病折磨的話,則社會犯罪和暴力就會增加。
國家醫(yī)療的好處2:這有利于降低醫(yī)療成本。私人公司做醫(yī)療都是為了賺錢。為了獲取最高利益,它們會推薦,甚至強迫病患使用最昂貴的治療方式和藥物,這極大地增加了病人的經(jīng)濟負擔。
國家醫(yī)療的壞處:這不利于大眾保健。舉例,一旦看病的費用是政府的公共稅收承擔,而不是私人的話,則太多的人會忽略健康問題,甚至會放棄鍛煉。
參考范文:
What is the responsibility of the government on social medical services? Some people believe the government should fully replace the private companies by supporting the health-care system by itself. Personally, I partially agree with this assertion, and my reasons would be explored as below.
Firstly, a universal health service run by the tax revenue of the government can cover all social classes, both the rich and the poor, which represents the human rights of all social individuals, and which is the precondition of social fairness and stability. In contrast, privatization of medical care leads to polarization of medical services. Only the affluent people will be able to derive its benefits, while poor people with non-affordability would be abandoned and struggle in illness. Therefore, multiple social problems like increase in crime rate and rebellions can be expected.
Secondly, the main motive of profit making companies is to derive profits rather than promoting health delivery system. In order to run their expensive models, they are not even hesitant to do unethical practices, for example, tempting patients into accepting expensive medicine, diagnosis and surgical procedures whose effects might be the same as cheaper alternative ones. Thus, it is reasonable to let the government takes the place of these selfish companies with money worship. This policy can put the priority of health care back into interests of the public, and help to reduce the medical costs as well.
However, the worrying aspect of this assertion is that the measure might cause uncertain or even risky results about the overall health of society. Obviously, in order to avoid the costly medical bills from private hospitals or clinics, every individual has a strong willpower of regular exercise for keeping healthy. However, with a state-owned health care system, all medical costs would be paid by public taxes, rather than by private income. This, eventually, will bring a dilemma that many residents would lose the motivation of exercise, and the level of public health and physical condition will decline.
All in all, I believe the benefits of this assertion overweigh relevant demerits, in terms of its great contributions to the social stability and the cutting down of medical fees.
