Lawmakers are scrutinizing the financial transactions between health insurers and brokers who sell Medicare plans. The examination comes as one in eight Britons are now paying for health services due to long waiting lists, potentially impacting free care. Additionally, experts and lawmakers highlight the lack of funding for mental health, limiting access to care. The government argues that those who can afford private treatments help ease the burden on the NHS, but increased demand for private healthcare may strain the system in other ways. The need for gender mainstreaming in mental health policies and empowering women at the grassroots level is emphasized. Furthermore, India's upcoming policy cycle must recognize women's roles in trade and gender separately, with gender-disaggregated data compiled to create more opportunities for women. The policy brief reinforces the need for a G20 policy framework to address the disproportionate burden on women in the care economy. American states are grappling with how to treat severe mental illness, while the G20 is urged to commit to international initiatives considering consumer preferences in biofortification and address gender inequalities through a Women's Parliamentarian Group.
