Does Universal health care system unfairly exploit the health conscious taxpayes

AGAINST

“Universal health care should be a right, not a luxury”

“Knock knock”.

” Who’s this?”.

“I’m a disease. I have come to embrace you for the rest of your life.”.

                                Diseases come uninvited in our lives and if we are in an economically unstable position to defend them, then we fall in a perpetual cycle of diseases. 63 million Indians are pushed into poverty by health expenses each year and these are the people who are below poverty line. How can we think of them being health conscious when they cannot afford two square meals a day? It’s the people who are well of and rich to an extent who live a healthy lifestyle. So it isn’t wrong when they are paying a part of their lavish wealth for the betterment of the society. In fact, human beings are social animals and they should help each other.

                                Defining the topic is like saying that,” Since a person earns more money and all of that is earned by him, why should he give it to someone else?”.

                                How many would like to die early? None. So the very fact that there are people who neglect their health is a fallacy. It might be a very meagre percentage of people. And we all know that even diamond isn’t purest. So is the case with our society.

                                It’s not that health conscious people don’t get diseases. So if they have some health problems then they can also avail the benefits of universal health care. It aims at inclusive growth and development of the citizens. People should feel proud that they are paying taxes to save someone else’s life. In fact, universal health care system reduces the overall cost of medical treatment for everyone and improves the quality as there is a unified system of health care run by the country. Totally everyone is benefitted from it.

                                It’s always said “Prevention is better than cure”. In the same way we can effectively use the health care system and address people who aren’t health conscious and bring them to the right track. This will reduce the tax burden on everyone will become an active part of the universal health care system.

                               Thus I strongly believe that Universal health care system doesn’t exploit the health conscious taxpayers.
