IELTS Writing Task 2: public/private healthcare 
A recent IELTS Writing Task 2 question was about the advantages and disadvantages of private 
healthcare. Here are some ideas from my 
ebook
: 
State Health Systems: Advantages

Good healthcare should be available to everyone for free. 

State healthcare is paid by the government using money from taxes. 

Everyone has access to the same quality of care and treatment. 

Private healthcare is unfair because only wealthy people can afford it. 

The National Health Service in the UK provides free healthcare for every resident. (use this as an 
example) 
Private Healthcare: Advantages

State hospitals are often very large and difficult to run. 

Private hospitals have shorter waiting lists for operations and appointments. 

Patients can benefit from faster treatment. 

Many people prefer to pay for a more personal service. 

Patients have their own room and more comfortable facilities. 
Note: 
You can use the advantages of state healthcare when discussing the disadvantages of private 
healthcare.
