Answer:
As individuals, we are confronted with a variety of unexpected problems. Sometimes these problems can be easily solved. Sometimes they are too difficult to cope with due to the limited resources an individual has. As a result, government intervention is required to assist individuals who require help in areas like health care, disaster relief and public works projects.
Health care requires support from the government. The inferior hospital facilities, increasing drug prices, and disappointing service from doctors and nurses require government regulation. Without rigorous policies to address hospitals and medication, patients suffer from poor health care. Recently, the Chinese government slashed the maximum retail price for more than 1,200 types of antibiotics and circulatory system drugs. This important health reform by the government significantly reduces the financial burden of patients as well as their families.
Similarly, communities that suffer large-scale disasters, such as the recent earthquake in Japan or flooding in China, require aid from the government. Although friends and family of disaster victims can contribute to recovery, it is difficult for these victims to access adequate food and water. Only through support from the government can victims obtain necessities such as drinking water, drugs and tents,etc., and rebuild their shelters.
In addition, construction of some public areas like streets, parks, and highways requires support from the government because they require tremendous amount of investment. Public facilities offer benefits to all citizens; however, common people and their families cannot build parks or roads even if they want to. With the help of the government, communities can find patrons for public facilities and enjoy the benefits of these facilities.
It is any government's responsibility to enable its people to have a safe, healthy and enjoyable quality of life. Therefore, a government should offer as much help as needed, and solve the problems that common people cannot. Such problems include the improvement of health care, tremendous disasters, and construction of public facilities
