Justice and competitive markets
Journal of Medicine and Philosophy 12 (1):37-50 (1987)
| Abstract | This easy challenges the view that the provision of health care must take place within a competitive-free system. The author argues that, presuming that there is a requirement to meet the demands of those who cannot pay for health care, a competitive market provides a good way to deal with injustices within the health care system. The author concludes that the demands for justice are best met when indigent individuals use some portion of the funds they receive from the government to purchase one of the many competing forms of health care. This scheme requires a competitive market in the delivery of health care. Keywords: justice, competition, for-profit medicine CiteULike Connotea Del.icio.us What's this? | |||||||||
