The concept of subsidiarity absolutely should apply to health and public health! Empowered patients and empowered doctors treating illness as it presents in individuals is the only rational way to avoid the inevitable problems which come from centralized authority insulated from the results of its policy descisions. Remdesiver was a top-down decision foisted upon doctors even after it was known how toxic it is from failed trials for ebola treatment, for goodness sake! It's odd that this discussion would carve out such a broad exception as public health while suggesting that empowering teachers in the classroom is necessary.
