Healthcare:
Majority of Americans’ are dissatisfied with the current health care system which is extremely expensive and highly inefficient. Due to the upcoming presidential election, the two major political parties, and their candidates, have been focusing on the primary problems that the nation will face. Among those problems is the future of Medicare, the national health-insurance plan. Medicare was enacted in 1965, under the administration of Lyndon B. Johnson, in order to provide health insurance for retired citizens and the disabled. The Medicare program covers most people aged 65 or older, as well as handicapped people who enroll in the program, and consists of two health plans: a hospital insurance plan (part A) and a medical insurance plan (part B). A well-organized, efficient health care system is not that easy to provide and one of the key problems is hospitals and medical proper funding. Nowadays, there are three basic types of funding: private, insurance, and state. Nevertheless, many people believe that the government must bear full responsibility for providing the money our health care service needs. However, I do not completely agree with the idea. The government will not be able to provide enough funding to guarantee the use of the most innovative methods of treatment. Moreover, government has several branches of the social sector, such as education and culture, which also do not produce much of income, but need funding. As a result, increase of taxes, which means that the main financial burden is on an average citizen again. An ideal variant will be a combination of all the existing sources of finance. Some rich people may prefer to pay for the best medical treatment, while the government must necessarily subsidize the health care for children, senior citizens, and the unemployed, as these social groups cannot provide for themselves (that's where Medicaid kicks in) thus, are extremely financially vulnerable. However, working adults can afford medical insurance, and reduce the general taxation burden.

Wealth:
When one ask themselves "what is wealth?", people immediately think of money. They think of expensive cars and mansion. Wealth is not the ability to take everything for granted. Wealth is not greed and malice towards others. I do agree with the middle-class has been disappearing because most of the middle class people are hardworking individuals and goal achievers, therefore they haven’t fallen into the lower class, they’ve risen into the upper class.
Education:
The biggest debate was should education be free? The answer is NO! The government will not be able to provide enough money to fund "free" education without raising taxes. Think long term, even though you have to pay for tuition or student loans right now, it only takes a few years to pay them off. However, if the government increased taxes, it'd be a lifetime "penalty" for everyone including your kid(s). Have you heard of the government lowering taxes? Think about it.
The Morals and Ethics in our society today:
Ethics and morality form a central position in the functioning of the government. Under normal circumstances, it is the role of the government to ensure a just society where order and harmony exist. As a result, the government has to establish and enforce ethical and moral standards so as to ensure that the society functions well. Decision making is the government’s chief role. Therefore, it must make ethical and moral considerations in order to make decisions that are in line with the welfare of the society.
