Dear Editor,
People should have the ability to go to the doctor when required. People that are poor are more likely to get sick than people that are wealthy. People that are poor will have not as many substantial facilities than people that are wealthy which leads to sickness. Poor people will not have the money to go to the doctors which means they will get even more ill. Later in their life they will have to go to hospital. If the doctors are free more people will go and get it checked. If they don’t it could lead to something very serious. To prevent this problem we should have free access to health care.
Sincerely,
Georgia Miller
Hi Georgia, you have certainly put across your evidence about free health care. I like the sentence around 'substantial facilities'. I agree that free doctors would mean that people wouldn't get so sick later on. I'm very happy that you are now free to go to the doctor. Mum xxx
