Through the political process, individuals, groups, agencies, and government entities have a voice in developing our health care system via regulations, establishing outcomes, and developing policy.Lobbyists can be an effective tool, but they are expensive, and in the case of issues that are very popular with the general public, they may not be necessary at all.Everyone has a voice in our national health care system.There are multiple avenues for influencing health care policy; voting is one but is not necessarily the primary method.
