A Mandatory Health Check-Ups. Who Does It Favors?
Health care and medical checkups are one important factor that can help many of us live without worries from time to time knowing that our medical 🏥 records are in order as certified by the doctor if we are among those that see it as important to visit the hospital for checkups.
To many of us regular checkups are never in our agenda as far as we woke up everyday standing on our heels 👠, to keep going for another day or week. And the reason to this is not that we don’t want to visit the hospital to check up on our health which is very essential, but to many finances are a big problem since many citizens are still struggling to cater for themselves through paying bills on the basics which are food, shelter and every other daily needs.
But what if the government makes medical checkups mandatory for at least once in a year? Jail term and fine being involved as penalty? This indeed will be a very big and important step from the government because this law if put in place will help many of us to see the need to visit the hospitals for benefits of our health, which definitely will prevent many untimely deaths.
This very compulsory hospital visits for health and medical checkups will help the country and its citizens as an advantage whereby illnesses especially those that are terminal to be found out in patients quickly once its about to start. I can tell you that many people who die because of terminal cancer ♋️ and other diseases die due to late discovery.
Although we shy away from checkups because of the funds involved, but we pay tax, spends money 💰 on groceries because we need to eat, change clothes because they are basics, our health is also one most important if not most essential to look into. Like the issue of high blood 🩸 pressure which has become a silent killer. Many may not know that their BP is high and exceeding, since they take painkillers and feel normal after that slight headache. But going to check your BP at that point in time might show how high and dangerous ones PB has become. This is due to how stressful life has become in this recent times.
If compulsory once in a year medical checkups is made into law, many people will be forced to go to the hospitals, checking themselves to know what is the status of their health records and from this results, people will be treated accordingly, preventing emergency, high cost 💲 when it becomes emergency and staying with peace of heart ♥️ when you know your records are clean.
However, the disadvantage to this law if established is that of how many will feel the government wants to make money 💰 out of the citizens, especially those who can not afford the checkups. And to those who are rich, this will become a way step on the toes of the poor because attention will be on them.
We can also here see the government forcing the citizens under duress to obtain checks that might not be necessary which might cause problem in hospitals such as malpractices of all kinds.
In conclusion, making laws like this will be very essentially helpful through saving lives , but the government should first consider how to help the citizens through this medical checkups by creating a free health checkups once in a year whereby everyone is entitled to health checkup that will not cost 💲 anyone any dime since health is also one basic necessity government owes the citizens.

Thanks for reading friends 🥰💕
Images are mine.
Normally, the citizens will be the major beneficiaries of mandatory health checkups. Where it gets spooky is if some corrupt government officials decide to sell private information about people since they will have some degree of access to health records.
Exactly. But issues with government selling private information will be a big sabotage, and can land them into trouble of individuals deciding to sue the government.
Thanks for your wonderful support comment @mckane. I appreciate your time here 😇
