Module 10: Delivering Health Care Chapter 11 Reading Questions (M10A1)
After reading Chapter 11, please do the following. Always use complete sentences. Type your answers
under each item and submit this whole document with your responses.
Please review the Quick Review box near the end of the chapter and review the review questions for the
chapter.
Answer the following Discussion Questions, which are taken from the end of the chapter. Write your
answer under each question.
1. Which theory of justice is more plausible — libertarian or egalitarian? Why? (Explain each first. See
pages 338-339.)
Answer- Egalitarians prefer to concentrate solely on wealth and belongings. They overlook the casual
factors and the best decisions we can make as individuals. They don’t consider our differing preferences.
The egalitarians would have to eliminate all prospects for change if they were consistent in all areas of
value. As a result, I think that libertarian is the more plausible option.
2. Does the US provide the best care in the world? Why or why not?
Answer- When compared to six other industrialized countries, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands,
Germany, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, the United States ranks bottom in terms of quality,
efficiency, access to care, equity, and the capacity to live long, healthy, and productive lives.
3. Do libertarian theories favor positive rights? Why or why not?
Answer- Libertarians think that the government should only be concerned with negative liberty and that
it should never aggressively promote positive liberty. Furthermore, libertarians frequently claim that a
state pursuing positive liberty will result in less negative as well as positive liberty.
4. Do people have a moral right to health care? Explain why or why not.
Answer- A right to basic health care means that the government has a moral obligation to do everything
in its power to guarantee that everyone has access to medically necessary care. It does not compel the
government or physicians to provide free facelifts and tummy tucks to anyone who requests them.
5. What is Daniel’s argument for a moral right to health care? (Explain it.) Do you think it sounds? Why or
why not?
Answer- According to Daniels, health care is unique because health is unique. Health is unique in that it
is required in order for an individual to have a fair chance at society’s benefits. Daniels connects health
and healthcare, interpreting universal access as a requirement. I believe Daniels is correct, because
everyone’s health is vital, which is why healthcare was originally developed.
6. Do you agree with the view that if you don’t have any money, you shouldn’t be entitled to any
medicine? (Explain why or why not.)
Answer- I don’t because there are millions of people dying every day just because they didn’t have the
finances to. The health care system was created for that purpose and not money alone. Helping those in
the present can one day not only help others but the world.
7. What should be done, if anything, for the millions of Americans who lack health care because they
cannot afford it? (Explain your view.)
Answer- We could have either the government raise minimum wage jobs to at least 15 dollars which can
help the people stabilize themselves or put them in a program that can help them be eligible to have
healthcare.
