Why are healthcare services considered the responsibility of the Government in a democracy?
Answers
Answer:
In a democracy like ours, we the people, through our elected representatives, decide what government services we want our government to provide that we are willing to pay our taxes for.
By looking around at the rest of the major democracies on Earth, we find that every other country provides affordable universal health care to all their citizens. And they are able to deliver similar or better quality of care at 1/2 the cost per person we spend in the US. All healthcare systems outside of the US that provide affordable universal care are either government run, or strongly controlled by the government.
Like any other services that we the people decide we want to provide for ourselves and our fellow citizens, health care is simply something that I believe in the future we will provide to ourselves through our government. The same way we choose to provide public education, pay for a strong military, roads and bridges, fire and police services, courts, clean air and water, safe food and drugs etc.
Government provided healthcare has been proven to cover everyone, provide good quality of services, and cost less than our current broken system. Obviously health care services don’t have to be the responsibility of government. We haven’t made that smart move yet, despite the examples of so many other democracies. But hopefully we will and soon.
Hope it helps you..!!!
ur answer is here:-
In the democratic countries people choose the representatives, decide which government should serve the country for how much tenure. We only decide what government service we want our government to provide that we are paying taxes for.
We pay taxes for the betterment of our country like public education, Military, road, and bridges, fire, police, better hospitals, health services, safe air, water, food, etc.
Rich can afford everything by private companies but what about the common man. So, the programs run by the government will cover everyone. Whether its food, healthcare, water, road, transport, etc.
