Question

Should this country’s government provide access to free health care for its citizens?No; people do not work as hard to keep their jobs when the government provides access to free health care.

Answer 1

Country's government decision to provide free health care for citizens, is dependent upon many aspects.

Step-by-step explanation:

It should provide so , because :

• Health care facilities have long term , irreversible impact on their consumers
• Health care facilities are a basic right, in a poor country many people won't be able to afford it by expensive private sellers
• Health Care services consumers have imperfect information about the quality of facilities provided, so they can be exploited by private sellers , specially monopolies

However: as mentioned - health care as a basic amenity if provided to people, can reduce their incentive to work & make them lethargic for it.

This issue can be sorted by : monitoring government intervention in health sector, making it in a way that - it is best efficiently distributed among the ones genuinely needing it & doesn't make the capable ones lack incentive to earn it by their own selves. Such can be done by analysing & dividing people on the basis of their income levels, nutritional levels etc.
