Should Every Country Have Free Health Care?

I was walking along the market this morning and someone gave me a leaflet and it is written their free check up. I saw some of leaflets like this everywhere in Baguio when walking along the city. Yes, their are lots of it saying they offer free check up. Well, it’s a good service though for those who can’t afford going to hospitals. However, when you go there, their no such thing as free medicine because they sell high priced medicines. Although it is not necessary for you to buy those, so at least the free check up benefited you.

Anyways, I was thinking, what if the government give a free health care to everyone? Is it possible? I think it is possible because other country such as United Arab Emirates, Germany, United Kingdom, Norway, Austria, Sweden, and some more. Most of these country is funded by the government itself and it is really a big help to the citizens. They really care for there country’s health status. They want everyone to b healthy and free of deadly sickness. And that is what I am wishing for my own country.

Although, here in the Philippines, we have  the Philhealth, which is, well a big help to those who can’t afford being hospitalize. But it is not totally a free health care because you still pay for some of the medical fees. maybe Half of the bills will be paid by the patients. I was hoping that someday somehow, health care in our country will be totally free because as we can see, one of the cause of death is the illnesses or disease that are not being taken care off. And poor families don’t go to hospital for at least check up because of financial problem. Diseases and illnesses are now popping out everywhere. Unknown sickness are always ahead of us because of some causes like pollution, and the changes in our surroundings. No matter how we clean our own environment, we cannot avoid those illness to come out. The only remedy for it is to fight for it but we cannot do that if there are no free medicines to use.

Health is business to many people nowadays. A lot of experts in medicine are creating medicines to cure such illnesses in return of money. Why not do some medicines for free to help your countrymen? Why not consider those who cannot afford it?

    • But there are free consultations and medicines given at the health center of the towns as well as in the cities. There are also government hospitals.

      Though of course, it being free, you will just have to allot a lot of your time in lining up to have them. Sometimes, people just have to have patience and determination to have them for free, because anyways it will benefit your budget after all.

      Though, for those illnesses that needs operations, you can always approach the DSWD , or those social organizations who offers them. Or you can always approach the leaders of your community for you to be referred to people who do some charity works or for some doctors who also offers their free services.

    • Nothing in this life is free. But every country should offer healthcare to its citizens. They should figure out a way. Because a nation of healthy citizens is better than a nation of sick people! If Cuba can do it, why can't other countries?
