standard of living. 
In the event of the need for urgent or emergency treatment, government spending 
enables 
sufferers 
to receive immediate health care services. This is the fulfilment of the government's 
responsibility to its members. Needless to say, health care treatment costs are, in general, unaffordable 
to low income families. Government's financial support is therefore required. 
Despite these facts, it is immoral that individuals shirk responsibility and try to pass all medical costs 
on to the government. In view of the fact that the government raises financing primarily from taxpayers' 
income, individual's over-exploitation of a health care system will in fact add a heavy burden on those 
hardworking and 
good-hearted 
citizens. Particular attention should be paid on those people whose health 
problems are attributed to their poor personal living habits (smoking, drinking, substance use or inactive 
lifestyle). In such cases, they should not be entitled for public medical services. 
As suggested above, education and healthcare services are of primary importance to citizens, and the 
government has the responsibility to ensure that those services are available and affordable. However, 
it is not to say that the government should 
bear 
the costs of all healthcare and educational services that 
the citizens currently enjoy.
