Should the government provide free medication to seniors and minors?

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, leader of the Law and Justice party, has advocated for the provision of free medication to individuals aged 65 and older, as well as those under the age of 18. This proposal has generated a heated debate regarding its potential impact on healthcare costs and inflation rates in the country. Arguments in favor include the assertion that universal access to healthcare and medication should be guaranteed for all citizens. Additionally, proponents contend that providing free medication can promote better health outcomes and contribute to reducing overall healthcare expenditur…  e. On the opposing side, it is argued that the government's current financial capacity may not support such an initiative, given potential budget constraints. Furthermore, critics contend that entitlement programs of this magnitude have the potential to fuel inflation, with reference to Poland's recent experience of an inflation rate exceeding 18% in the current year.
