Topic:Should healthcare be free?

JM: Hi, my name is JM and I'm from the Philippines.

Phuong: And Phuong from Vietnam.

JM: OK and today's question is healthcare. Should healthcare be free? What do you think?

Phuong: I don't think that healthcare should be free because I think nothing is really like no free lunch for people so if you get healthcare free, so you have to pay insurance, higher insurance and also you have to pay higher tax so that is the problem. I think healthcare should not be free. How about you?

JM: Yep. Well I think that healthcare should be free. It's simply because I think being able to live with good health is a right that everybody should have whether you are poor or rich, I think everybody has the right to live a good life and that's why I think healthcare should be free.

Phuong: Yes, good reason. OK. Thank you.

JM: Bye for now.
