Healthcare by Geoffrey

Introduction

There are 4 different “moral arguments” that help to explain views on healthcare provision. Below is a brief definition of each.

  • Utilitarian moral argument: to maximize the good and minimize the bad.
  • Egalitarian moral argument: to act on the principle that all people are created equal.
  • Contractarian moral argument: to act on the value of fairness (without bias).
  • Libertarian moral argument: to act on the value of freedom.
