Question

Describe your health policy focus​ (Judicial branch)

Answer 1

Answer: With regard to public policies, the Judiciary's intervention, despite its important role as the body that guarantees constitutional rights, has been changing the initial intention (the distribution of goods and services) and affected many areas, including healthcare. In general, the health field and the challenge is to identify the real political influence of the Judiciary, and to discover the manner, extent and intensity of this influence and its effect on the direction of ongoing public policies.

The multiplication of rights has, however, been accompanied by another contemporary phenomenon: the expanding scope of the Judiciary, which gradually begins to compete with other public authorities in the handling of political and social conflicts. The introduction of the concept of social security, the definition of health as a universal and equal right, as well as substantive changes with regard to social rights such as education, welfare, housing and many others, could only become concrete based on new public choices.
