6.	Conclusion	-          In this conclusion, i will explain it again about the 3 arguments that have been explained and the counter arguments.

          Most of us must have already know about the tax, the tax is something that is imposed to the citizen by the government. The function of tax is to fund public expenditure for hospitals, schools and transport. Now, let’s talk about the insurance, insurance is a contract, represented by a policy, in which an individual receives financial protection or reimbursement against losses from an insurance company. But the topics that we would like to discuss at this time will be about: “Should the government provide free health care for the citizens who pay taxes? Or they should be using their own private insurance?”. In my opinion, i think the government should pay for our healthcare because it will make the society look alike without gap, and i would like to discuss 3 arguments.

            The first argument will be “We are paying more taxes for our health care”. We know that when we are paying taxes, it will be for the infrastructure, education, health, etc. So we are suitable to receive the health care provided by the government, as long as we pay the obligation for our health care. Paying more taxes will help us to receive more for the treatment for safety purpose, we don’t need to worry too much because the government covers all aspects for its citizen.

            The second argument will be “Government should pay for our healthcare because its their responsibility”. Basically this argument will be talking that one of the functions of government is to keep their citizen healthy, so it is their job also to take care of us from paying taxes. Even if we are healthy enough, we know that the money that we paid (taxes) to the government will help for those of them who are in need and they are poor.

            The third argument will be “There are so many poor people in one country, and it is the government job to help them”. This kind of thing has been happening around the world and we cannot help with poverty, so we can’t expect all the people to have their own private insurance. Ironically, the rich will be able to enjoy good services in the hospital using their own insurance, but the poor can’t do anything about that one.

            But most of us have already know that we have our own free will to select, whether we want to choose using the private insurance, or public health. We can’t force someone to obey the rules about this kind of thing, so we all know that its based on our needs. But on the other hand, when the rich can have access for the private insurance, it will cause the gap between the rich and poor bigger. So this kind of situation is unwanted, it’s a shame to think that only the rich can afford for health, but the poor can’t.

            So paying taxes for our health care, responsibility from the government, helping poor people is considered to be something that can reduce the economic gap. This can help the others when the poor people suffered from chronic diseases and it’s hard to get a treatment without private insurance.
