Yes, the government should be setting policies to promote the health of its citizens because only then can the population be guaranteed to have access to the resources, services, and support they need for a long and healthy life. These policies can include legislation to make healthier lifestyle choices easier, such as banning junk food from schools or promoting public transportation options instead of cars. Governments should be investing in preventative health measures to ensure citizens remain healthy and well. Furthermore, governments should prioritize equitable access to healthcare for everyone regardless of their socioeconomic status, education, or location.
