people that vote for they 
them . 
People want 
to buy healthy food but it is expensive so they 
buy fast food instead which is not good for h+s 
th e ir 
health. Politicians should change 
this
situation.
2 Dieticians suggest vitamins are necessary 
to combat allergies. 
This 
view has been 
criticized by scientists who say that thts 
such/
these 
nutrients do not always help to reduce 
allergies. Therefore, because thorn 
they 
don’t 
agree, people don’t know what advice to follow.

Healthcare costs all over the world are rising due 
the rise in modern diseases which are a product of 
unhealthy lifestyles. These lifestyles include poor diet, 
sm oking and lack of exercise. While many people do 
not need to use medical services, there are others who 
constantly need medication due to their unhealthy daily

lives. In my view people who are responsible for their 
own illness should have to contribute towards the cost 
of their medical treatment.
First of all, it is important to highlight the fact that 
ignorance is not an excuse. Information about health 
and fitness is widely available so everyone should 
know that sm o king and eating fast food are not only 
bad for our health, but can cause se rio u s diseases. 
Furthermore, there is a wide range of help services 
which people can consult for advice on improving their 
health from doctors to sp o rts trainers and dieticians. 
People who continue to live unhealthy lifestyles 
despite advice from doctors or medical professional 
should not receive free or reduced cost medical 
services.
Secondly, it is clear that certain types of treatment 
are very expensive and som e diseases can be 
prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle. If people 
who are obese require treatment, they are taking 
money away from another patient, w hose operation 
or treatment may be costly, but necessary. Therefore 
it could be a good solution to make people pay som e 
money towards the cost of their treatment. If their 
health improved, this payment could be reduced.
In conclusion, m aking people contribute towards the 
cost of medical treatment for self-inflicted diseases 
could help reduce this type of disease and make more 
money available for other people.
