Conclusion
Summarizing all arguments and state that healthcare should be funded by government.


Health care is the maintenance or improvement of health via the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in people. It is needed for people as humans who can get sick at some points. It can be obtained by paying or free provided by governments. Because of its importance, people should get healthcare for their own good, even if it’s funded by government if the people can’t get it. In Indonesia, there are some reasons why healthcare should be funded by the government.
First, it’s a country’s duty to protect citizens’ lives. It’s because a nation is made of people. If Indonesia fund healthcare for its people, that means Indonesia does its job well to ensure the good lives of people who pledge their lives and loyalty to the country. And it’s also clearly stated in the opening of Indonesian law 1945 paragraph 4 as such “melindungi segenap bangsa Indonesia dan seluruh tumpah darah Indonesia”, which translates to “protecting the entire Indonesian people” in short, government fulfill its promise and duty to protect Indonesian people. In this case protecting from diseases, illness, etc.
Second, it’d be good to help Indonesian poor people to get healthcare. According to Indonesian statistics, there are 25.95 million Indonesian people still living in poverty. These people surely consist of humans with the needs of healthcare. It’d be unfair for them if they just live with untreated illness only because they don’t have the money to get the proper treatment. It’s totally a good idea to give government funded healthcare, as shown from FEB UI research that Indonesian Health Card program helped 1.16 million poor people to be healthy again.
Third, better health program can be improved in Indonesia, which can improve better living quality of people. There are various healthcare program conductors in Indonesia that have shown good result of their jobs. For example, JKN (Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional) had the satisfaction rate of 78.6%. This tells us that good healthcare satisfy Indonesian people. And that better health program can be achieved in such a clear way.
People may think that money from tax would be better to be used for infrastructures, technologies, public facilities, etc. They would think those are the important things for the government to spend money on to be a better nation. But it’s wrong cause those things aren’t human basic needs that the government should focus on. Instead, improving healthcare and ensuring health for people is more important cause those people, Indonesian people are the ones who run the country. Workers, farmers, teachers, etc are the ones who make this country keeps existing and well. Surely they should be the priority for the government to care about.
In conclusion, healthcare should be funded by the government cause there are some factors that agree with it. Being the country’s duty, helping Indonesian poor people, and improving better health program are the reasons why the Indonesian government should fund healthcare.

Comparison of learning math and learning language

Introduction

In this essay we will discuss the similarities and differences of learning math and languages as they are both knowledges but different to an extent.

Similarities

First, we need practice to master both of them. Second, both has rules.

Difference

They have different focuses.

Conclusion

In conclusion, learning languages and math has similarities and difference, Both need practice if you want to be good at them, and both also has rules.

 


Learning is getting to know new things that a person hasn’t known before. People can gain knowledge by learning. There are so many knowledge in the world that a person can learn. But obviously, people wouldn’t learn them all at once, or even consider to learn due to their needs. For example aspiring businessmen can learn business strategies, cooks can learn recipes, and engineers can learn physics. But there are basic knowledge that a person needs to learn which are often taught in school. 2 of them are math and languages. In this essay we will discuss the similarities and differences of learning math and languages as they are both knowledges but different to an extent.

Learning math and languages has some similarities. First, we need practice to master both of them. For math we need to do calculations over and over again to understand the concepts. While when we learn languages we need to make sentences and use the language in our daily life to become better at it. Eventhough the way we practice is different, but both need practice if we want to be good at them. Second, both has rules. In math we have exact formulas, while in languages we have grammar rules. Math has formulas to calculate area, volume, etc. But in languages, for example in English, we have tenses, essay structure, etc.

Learning math and languages also has a difference, They have different focuses. Math is focused on numbers, while languages is focused on words and sentences. That’s why we count numbers and solve mathematical equations in math. Unlike when we learn language, in which we are focused on joining words and make them into sentence and eventually essays.

In conclusion, learning languages and math has similarities and difference, Both need practice if you want to be good at them, and both also has rules. While their focus may be the thing that make them different, as math concerns about numbers, while language concerns abput words and sentences.
