Recent studies have found that medicine is not correlated with health, yet health policy is an important medical issue. Medical paternalism and loyalty are habits that contemporaries inherit from ancestors. Most governments have an active health policy which focuses on Social Security and medical regulations. With an economic analysis, it can be found that these habits are inefficient and inaccurate in disease detection, quality assurance, and medical treatments.
