美語情景對話 第1231期:Should healthcare be free? 醫保應該免費嗎?

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

JM：嗨，我是JM，來自菲律賓。

Phuong: And Phuong from Vietnam.

芳：我是芳，來自越南。

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

JM：好，今天的話題是醫保。醫保應該免費嗎？你怎麼看？

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?

芳：我認爲醫保不應該免費，因爲世上沒有免費的午餐，如果你想免費獲得醫保，那你就必須要支付更高的保險費，也要支付更多的稅款，這是問題所在。我認爲醫保不應該免費。你的看法呢？

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.

JM：嗯。我認爲醫保應該免費。原因很簡單，因爲我認爲健康地生活是每個人都應享有的權利，無論貧窮還是富有，我認爲所有人都有權力享受好的生活，這就是我認爲醫保應該免費的原因。

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

芳：好，不錯的理由。謝謝你。

JM: Bye for now.

JM：再見。
