The health care system

The governments should ensure that all citizens have access to essential and good quality health care regardless of their wealth.
I strongly agree with this opinion that the governments are responsible for people’s health care. They must do in such way because of taxes the governments receive, country’s wealth, and delicacy of the nation’s health.


Although nobody is excluded due to their personal circumstances, there are many people who are able to contribute significantly to their health care costs and they should be taking at least a certain degree of responsibility for it.
Without the majority of people in a society bearing a reasonable portion of their health expenses, the system can’t work long-term and ultimately nobody’s best interests will be served. Most particularly, those who are most vulnerable of all will suffer.
Of course, that is also the case when the government doesn’t take enough responsibility for the health care of its citizens and even ignores them altogether when they are in dire need. So there should be a balance with those who are able to afford private health insurance being required to cover themselves up to a point


Firstly, the most important thing that people need to be made aware of is where the government spends their taxes. In fact, one of the aims of these taxes is to give the people a high level of health care. So it’s their duty to give the people a good quality health care.


Secondly, the country’s wealth that are earned by selling the natural resources of the country must be spent on a high level of health care for each citizen instead of helping other countries and putting extra money in their pockets while there are a few well off people in the country that can really afford health care, life insurance.


Thirdly, in a society where only the rich having high level of health care because of their money and the poor receiving no level of health care, the health of the nation is delicate because many virulent diseases go unchecked and the diseases spread rapidly. As a virtue of it, the people die before their time.


Generally, I hold the view that it’s government’s task to look after everybody but some needing more help than others.
As you put it, running a nation’s health care system is undoubtedly very complex indeed and there is so much the government needs to take responsibility for doing on behalf of its entire people to make it work efficiently. But there is also necessary that those who are financially able, to take pressure off the public coffers.

It’s a good solution, if the government introduces new laws which do require people to take some responsibility for their own health care if they are in a position to do so. This means that citizen can all receive help from government with many essential services. And those who are most needy can receive a great level of assistance.
A decent, honorable nation will always make sure that its children, senior citizens, chronically sick and disabled individuals and those receiving a very low income aren’t neglected.
In a society with Islamic values, it is the responsibility of those who are privileged and fortunate enough to be able to care for themselves to subsidize those who aren’t so blessed. So we will see more cost effective, timely, life-extending health care system for most people in this society.
