Health is important, but health systems are often criticised, sometimes with good reason. Perhaps philosophy is needed to make premises clearer? Who should be treated, how, and where? Is "more health for the money" valid, or should we consider quality? What are the technology challenges, like ICT? Can we treat more old people at home? Should the patient just be patient, or become a stakeholder?
