There is a lot that is legal about health care.
From whether or not a treatment is approved, to whether or not an insurance company must cover that treatment, to whether or not you can take time off work to get that treatment and not lose your job. All of these things are legal issues, even if we don’t think about them as legal issues in the moment.
Laws can protect people from discrimination, provide access to insurance coverage, create government benefits, or provide funding for screening, treatment, and research.
