Feedback:
Two broad goals of the Healthy People 2020 initiative are to increase quality and years of healthy life and eliminate health disparities. Healthy People 2020 initiatives will help with treatable problems but will not prevent problems. The initiative does not apply a systematic approach to health improvement or increase technological innovations.
