Health is the general condition of a person in all aspects. It is also a level of functional and/or metabolic efficiency of an organism, often implicitly human.

The Caduceus

At the time of the creation of the World Health Organization (WHO), in 1948, health was defined as being "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".

Only a handful of publications have focused specifically on the definition of health and its evolution in the first 6 decades. Some of them highlight its lack of operational value and the problem created by use of the word "complete." Others declare the definition, which has not been modified since 1948, "simply a bad one." [1]

In 1986, the WHO, in the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, said that health is "a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities." Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications (WHO-FIC), which is composed of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) also define health.

Overall health is achieved through a combination of physical, mental, and social well-being, which, together is commonly referred to as the Health Triangle.

A. Once the legislation is signed by the president, the approprriate department writes the regulations to implement the law. For example, the LAW says we have to pay income taxes. The IRS regulations say we have to file a form 1040. First, proposed regs are written by the department staff. They MUST follow the law. They can not violate the law. The proposed regs are published in the Federal Register, and the public has from 30 to 90 days to comment on them. The dept. reads the comments they get, and decide whether to change any of the proposed regs to fit the comments. Yes, comments very often do make a difference. I once had a job where it was my duty to write comments on proposed regs on hunger and poverty programs. Once the dept.… [cont.]
