Money in your pocket cannot buy all the goods and services that you may need to live well.
Income by itself is not a completely adequate indicator of material goods and services that citizens are able to use.
Normally, your money cannot buy the pollution-free environment or ensure that you get unadulterated medicines unless you can afford to shift to a community that already has all these things.
Money may also not be able to protect you from infectious disease unless the whole of your community takes preventive steps.
Public facilities are those which are provided by the government to satisfy collective needs of the people. Example – schools, hospitals, community halls etc.
To access many important things in life, it is the best and the cheapest way to provide these goods and services collectively.
