With the development of people’s life, there is more and more attention paid to the public service, especially public health care and education. Some people hold the view that these service should be paid by the government. Others take the opposite point. From my point of view, this question does not have an either-or answer. In other word, government alone should not take the whole responsibility.
First and foremost, even if the most powerful government can not pay for all the expense of public health care and education. As far as I know, the GDP of my hometown last year was only 5.3 billion yuan. Thus you will know how much tax the government of my city gets. As there are so much construction needs to be paid, there may not be enough money for public health care and education. Furthermore, there are more and more elder citizens all around the world. The decrease of working fore is accompanied with the increase of old people. As a result, the financial stress of the government is very huge.
However, on the other hand, the government has collected so much tax that it should do something for its people, such as offering some free assistance to public health care and education. What’s more, this assistance will do good to the government itself. With healthy and educated people, the society will operate more efficiently. Finally, only government has the ability to control and manage the whole public health care and education system. As a result, government should take the responsibility to provide its people with public health care and education.
All in all, from my perspective, government and the society should work together to build up a reliable health care and education system. Either one of the two can not hold the whole responsibility alone.
