Bài mẫu

Opinions diverge on whether governmental expenditures of income tax should be dedicated to the public health system or allocated to other growing societal problems. Although the former is valid to a certain extent, particularly in terms of human well-being and economic stability, the latter is also worth considering due to its benefits for the nation’s overall development. 

On the one hand, tax spending on healthcare is a key factor for the promotion of public health and the national economy. First, by making appropriate investments in public health infrastructure, the availability of hospitals with advanced medical equipment, large capacities, and unlimited sources of effective medicine respond more quickly to health emergencies for patients. As such, this propensity is a concomitant of mitigation in mortality and infectious diseases, meeting the ever increasing healthcare needs of the population. Secondly, the allocation of taxpayer funds acts as a stimulant to cope with unexpected crises through long-term medical research, proposed clinical protocol, and vaccinations in favor of substantial economic benefits. COVID-19 perfectly exemplifies this situation as unpreparedness during this pandemic is the primary repercussion of global economic stagnation and recession with prolonged quarantine, hence, more resilient health systems safeguard the streamline of economic mechanisms.

On the one hand, the magnitude of their sectors such as education and military matters holds more significance. First, as the allocation of income tax expenditures lays a foundation for tuition waivers to support the young generation, a greater quality of the future workforce would be nurtured. To better illustrate, children regardless of socioeconomic status and family income are entitled to educational opportunities to further their career path, making huge contributions to the development of national stature in several fields. Second, national defense activities in the military are regarded as another mandatory spending from taxation funds since national security has been the top priority for maintaining a sovereign state and suppressing invasive threats. More specifically, the government collects taxes and finances various activities of military personnel, military operations, or the procurement and research of weapons. 

In conclusion, despite the importance of healthcare promotion, the tax income budget of the authorities should also aid other essential sectors namely education and military issues for national stability and prosperity. An equal distribution of taxpayers’ money in diverse sectors is a prerequisite for the comprehensive development of nations.
