　　国家医疗的好处1：一个免费的医疗系统有利于社会的稳定。如果只是富人能享受医疗，而穷人不停遭受疾病折磨的话，则社会犯罪和暴力就会增加。国家医疗的好处2：这有利于降低医疗成本。私人公司做医疗都是为了赚钱。为了获取最高利益，它们会推荐，甚至强迫病患使用最昂贵的治疗方式和药物，这极大地增加了病人的经济负担。国家医疗的坏处：这不利于大众保健。举例，一旦看病的费用是政府的公共税收承担，而不是私人的话，则太多的人会忽略健康问题，甚至会放弃锻炼。

　　范文

　　What is the obligation of the government on social medical services? Some people believe the government should completely substitute the private companies by running the health-care system by itself. Personally, I partially concur with this assertion, and my reasons would be listed as below. Firstly, a universal health service run by the tax revenue of the government can cover all social classes, both the rich and the poor, which represents the human rights of all social individuals, and which is the precondition of social fairness and stability. In contrast, privatization of medical care leads to polarization of medical services. Only the affluent people will be able to derive its benefits, while poor people with non-affordability would be abandoned and struggle in illness. Therefore, multiple social problems like the increase in crime rates and rebellions can be expected. Secondly, the main motive of profit making companies is to derive profits rather than promoting health delivery system. In order to run their expensive models, they are not even hesitant to do unethical practices, for example, tempting patients into accepting expensive medicine, diagnosis and surgical procedures whose effects might be the same as cheaper alternative ones. Thus, it is reasonable to let the government takes the place of these profit-oriented companies. This policy can put the priority of health care back into interests of the public, and help to reduce the medical costs as well. However, the worrying aspect of this assertion is that the measure might cause uncertainty or even risky results about the overall health of the society. Obviously, in order to avoid the costly medical bills from private hospitals or clinics, every individual has a strong willpower of regular exercises for keeping healthy. However, with a state-owned health care system, all medical costs would be paid by public taxes, rather than by private incomes. This, eventually, will bring a dilemma that many residents would lose the motivation of exercises, and the level of public health and physical condition will decline. All in all, I believe the merits of this contention overwhelm relevant demerits, in terms of its great contributions to the social stability and the medical fees reduction.(358字)
