FULLY FREE PUBLIC HOSPITALS

FULLY FREE PUBLIC HOSPITALS We all have our own beliefs, and we are all entitled to our own beliefs. As for me, I believe that all public hospitals should be fully free, wherein patients do not have to pay a single centavo if they are confined there, or if they go there for outpatient treatment. And what is the basis of my belief? It is really very simple, and there should be no argument about it. Since all public hospitals are owned by the government, there should be no problem appropriating funds for it, so that it could cover all its costs, as it provides medical services to everyone who goes to them. Common sense will tell us that private hospitals could never provide their services for free, because they are a business, and they must make money. But that is not the case with public hospitals, because they are not businesses and they do not have to make money. Of course, they need money to be able to sustain their operations, but the government could appropriate for those funds too. It is a poor argument that the government could not appropriate the funds, because it does not have the money. That is so, because the government will always have money. The government must appropriate for other needs also, but aside from defense and education, what could be a higher priority? May I know your feedback? IKE SENERES/05-15-24
