▶ Your Answer :
As diverse health problems occur, government pay attention to improving citizens' health. However, in my opinion, government should try to resolve environmental problems. To improve and protect our environment reduces government's budget on health and to invest on environment shows clear effects.
To begin with, improvement of environment helps government to save money on health care. Most of diseases are caused by bad environment. Especially, water and air are important factors to human's health. If quality of water and air increases by solving environmental matters, people will be healthier than past and government won't need to waste much money. Some studies have shown that people who have chronic diseases such as atopy recover drastically after improvement of environment and government can save money on those disease.
On top of that, it is more effective to invest to environment than to health care. Health of people is affected not only by attention of government but also individual efforts. However, environment can be improved by government-leading efforts such as making laws or regulations. For example, our government has encouraged activity such as one tree per one person by giving incentives. Since then, some weather data show that air conditions have get well.
To sum up, cost to health care decreases by increasing quality of environment and effect of improving environment is very clear. In this regard, government should pay more attention to environmental problems. |
