As the health crisis in America continues to worsen, there's a growing call to 'depoliticize' public health. However, experts argue that what's needed is not less politics in healthcare, but a collective movement to overhaul the existing system and create a more equitable and accessible healthcare model for all. By prioritizing public health as a political issue, we can work towards a more just and healthy society, addressing key concerns such as healthcare reform, health equity, and social determinants of health. This requires a concerted effort from policymakers, healthcare professionals, and the community to drive meaningful change.
