An Example Of Free-Rider In The United States

A free- rider is a person who wants others to pay for a public good and then plan to use the good themselves; if many people act as free riders, the public good may never be provided. The problem with free-rider is when something is offered with no charge, people will demand more of it and later that create a shortage on those resources. An Example of free-riders would be health care, which requires that hospitals provide emergency care to anyone who needs it, regardless of citizenship, legal status or ability to pay, so anyone can get services whether they paid for that service or not. For public goods to be offered tax payer must first pay for the good but many people don’t pay taxes to be using the services it offers, which I can admit
