What can be an outcome of poor healthcare policy?

Poor healthcare policy can lead to reduced access to necessary healthcare services. When policies are not well-designed or implemented, they may create barriers that prevent individuals from receiving the medical attention they need. This can include limitations on insurance coverage, insufficient funding for important health programs, or inadequate support for facilities serving vulnerable populations.

As a result, patients may find it difficult to access preventive care, essential treatments, or emergency services, ultimately leading to worsening health conditions and disparities in health outcomes. The other options presented suggest positive results or improvements, which would not typically be associated with ineffective or poorly constructed healthcare policies.
