should medical treatment always be free?
Question:
Answers:
No. There are different ways to understand this. First, it cannot always be free. I think what the question means though is whether it should always be free for the consumer.
Now if the consumer wants more done than the government pays, he wouldn't be able to get it (at least not often) unless he were permitted to pay for it. However, maybe the question isn't intended to disallow private payment.
If medical treatment were pretty much always free, medications would probably be even more overprescribed than they already are. There would be disputes over whether the government should pay for treatment (is it really necessary?) Lots of old bored people would go to the doctor's office without cause because it costs nothing. Finally the government would spend an enormous amount and care would probably be worse because government plans are often complex and collecting money from the government would be an expense for the doctor's office.
No, because doctors need to get paid for what they do but, it should be cheaper most are rip offs
