Applying Distributive Justice to Health Care

Abstract: A 10 page paper discussing methods of health care delivery. Distributive justice seeks to determine a best-case method of distributing goods and services to a specific group or population. One of the primary debates surrounding health care is that of how it should be distributed. Most insured Americans have no choice in their insurers; the uninsured simply have no choice. Of the several principles of distributive justice, it is the welfare principle based on the utilitarianism of Kant and Mill that appears to be the most workable. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
