Health politics

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because health politics is something of importance worldwide. Health inequality and inequity are affected by politics within health and healthcare systems. Two of the sustainable development goals are good health and well being and reduced inequalities. I think that this article could give me more background information that could help me better understand the goals and approaches to reach them. My preliminary impression of this article is that it gives a good description on health politics. It provides an overview of what health politics is, as well as different concepts and perspectives regarding health politics.
