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.
