1. Health in all polices
2. Wellbeing economy
3. The best start to life
4. Improve places and communities
5. Safeguard our climate
6. Tackle CDoH
7. Shift toward prevention

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.

📢 Austerity is a public health emergency

Cuts to welfare & public services have worsened health, driving rising mid-life mortality & health inequalities.

Yet, more cuts are coming.

With @gerrymccartney1.bsky.social & David Walsh in @bmj.com we call for the health community to speak out 1/2
bmj.com The BMJ @bmj.com · Mar 18
Austerity has had a devastating effect on health.

Trends in UK mortality reflect a public health failure, write @lucindahiam.bsky.social and colleagues
