Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to pick up some of the best known clichés that surround the translation of the equivalent topics in health economics into health policy. These topics used to be distorted due to the inertia of the past, as a sort of some repetaed classic mantra (C), to the lack of a proper understanding by some of the health care agents in the policy and management fields (L) and some others result from ideological prejudices and the distortion relates to malevolence (M). We have selected a bunch of them according to our forty years’ experience in crossing the bridge from health economics to health policy and vice versa.
