Feedback:
A government has three core functions in addressing the health of its citizens: (1) it assesses healthcare problems, (2) intervenes by developing relevant healthcare policy that provides access to services, and (3) ensures that services are delivered and outcomes achieved. Although some government agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, do provide healthcare directly to citizens, this is not a core function of the government. Building state-of-the-art hospitals is not a core function of government, either.
