#Health Policy

Health policy is the magical rite by which governments treat "health" like alchemy, conjuring miracles with budgets and slogans. While experts distill policies in conference rooms, actual patients and their wallets are left waiting outside. Vaccine distribution becomes a mere popularity tool, and mask mandates turn into litmus tests of citizen loyalty. Policy proposals get overwritten with each debate, only to end with cries of "protecting public health" while offloading the costs onto future generations.
