What are the advantages and disadvantages of free health care:
The focus on health care is an immediate need of an hour, that is; especially in this scenario of the pandemic where people are breathing their lasts due to lack of health care opportunities. In addition to this, the health care system has collapsed in a few developing countries(Porter, 2010).
The free health care services could not only be labeled as a form of service it is, therefore, the act that is divine in every aspect and the people involved in providing the services are the angels.
In my perspective, there are mostly advantages of providing free of cost health care. People who can't afford the expensive medicines and the hospitalization costs are prone to death because of the lack of income. Moreover, the doctor's fees these days are no less than a stone on the chest of the poor. As it is said "Health is Wealth", nothing is above it when it comes to health and life.
Since with every advantage, some disadvantages are attached to it, so is the case with free of cost health care. There are some people who despite being financially sufficient, align themselves in the queue of getting free health care services. This, in turn, serves as a burden to the health care system moving towards its collapse.
