问题     Some people think that good health is important to everyone, so medical services should not be run by profit-making companies. Do the disadvantages of private health care outweigh the advantages?
选项
答案     A great deal of debate has been raised in recent decades over the issue of "two-tier" health care. That is, while the public system is struggling, there is a dispute going on over whether or not the usage of private hospitals should be promoted.
    People who oppose a two-tier system say that it may result in one system that is far better than the other, attracting the best doctors and the best equipment, and that those who cannot afford private or do not wish to pay will only be able to obtain second-rate healthcare. But it is very hard to imagine why people should be denied more choices in medical service when the only governmental challenge is to make sure that no citizen is deprived of appropriate medical care because of financial need.
    As a matter of fact, a private health care system grants freedom to choose the medical service suitable for different patients and promises increased efficiency at low prices due to competition and specialised institutions. Many people today are choosing private medical service to gain the reassurance of knowing that treatment is available promptly in the event of illness or injury. Also, more people are willing to turn to some private hospitals because stiff competition drives them to keep offering better services with lower costs.
    Another thing that cannot be ignored is that privatised medical system tends to promote innovations in medical science. Compared to the public sector, profit-making companies have more sources of capital and larger tolerance for risks. So while the government is having a hard time guaranteeing the basic demands for health care, private-owned companies play an important part in the research and development of advanced treatment and new drugs.
    So overall, I believe that the advantages of private health care far outweigh any disadvantages and that private, profit-making companies should be encouraged to enter the health care market to compete with the public sector.
