【题目】Health care is regarded as an important way to improve the health and well-being of people around the world. In many countries of the world, free health care is provided by the government. 【1】
Clearly, we all have to pay for this service through our taxes.
【2】 They say that people who lake unnecessary risks should not receive this free health care. For example, people who join in risky activities such as skiing arc more likely to have an accident. It has been suggested that these people should pay for any medical treatment they require.
【3】 Firmly, it’s difficult to say exactly what is risky and what is not. For example, not doing enough exercise is probably more risky than skiing in the long run. As a result, it isn’t fair to give free health care to an inactive person and make the skier pay.【4】 Clearly, these people should receive free medical treatment if they are hurt on the job.
Finally, I would like to say that I think free health care is a good thing. I understand that the system is not perfectly fair because some people use it more than others. Besides, not all the medical treatment is really necessary for the health of the patient. The taxpayer should not have to pay the costs of such treatment.【5】
