Plan
- Paragraph 1
- Argument: on the one hand, the government should take more action to solve any possible market failure in dental care
- Diagram: positive externalities in consumption
- Evaluation: however, there is a risk of government failure e.g. market distortions (and other issues like opportunity cost)
- Paragraph 2
- Argument: on the other hand, the government should leave dental care to the free market as the price mechanism is more effective at solving problems like excess demand
- Diagram: excess demand
- Evaluation: however, the free market only allocates goods and services to those who are willing and able to pay
