Extract

Government policy can further the health of the public in four ways, notes Howard Leichter: “It can support biomedical research; improve, guarantee, or subsidize access to health care; regulate environmental and product hazards; and encourage people, through education or regulation, to adopt more healthy life-styles” (p. 6).
