The cost of a Roman bathhouse itself was assumed by the person building he bath. Usually it was the emperor, such as the baths of Caracalla, but wealthy individuals could also build baths, such as Marcus Agrippa. The cost of using the facilities was always a nominal fee such as 1/2 of an As or no fee at all as many times emperors or owners gave the people free entrance for a length of time in order to celebrate something.

∙ 11y agoAll of the Roman baths were not government funded. There were plenty of private baths and baths in homes and villas which were privately owned. Only the large imperial baths were government funded because their sheer size required a vast amount of water which could only be acquired by direct access to an aqueducts. Tapping into an aqueduct was a no-no for a private party in ancient Rome, but was okay for the government.

How did the roman baths make things worse?
Roman baths did not, as the question implies make things "worse". Ancient Roman baths were built first in Rome and later became a part of all large Roman cities and in cities Rome conquered that were deemed large enough to have them. Wealthy Romans often had their own private baths. Many Roman cities and conquered ones had indoor plumbing fed by waters carried in from Roman built aqueducts. Public baths were in a sense part of Roman genius and part of Roman culture. Some of the baths were fed by natural spring waters. The baths in some places were so sophisticated that they were heated. The baths were ideal for Roman citizens who could not afford private ones. The baths served not only as a place to keep clean, but were also recreational and a place for people to gather and meet.
