Document Summary
Phlb09 lecture 20: chapter 11 health care resources. Rights to health care, social justice and fairness in health care allocations , engelhardt. Engelhardt speaks on behalf of the vision of good for the individual. Corollary 1: no positive right to health care. Corollary 3: two-tiered system best compromise of public need and private resource (715) (not a universal system) Individual authorizing permission (709) given to the state no universal interest, they would have distinct views. Problems: assume infallibility relieves us of debate undermines disagreement (can"t see which side would be right) Failure to face finitude (authority, resources, powers, life) No one has the positive right to provide health care. Principle of permission: resource transfer depends on consent. Principle of permission is the source of authority when moral strangers collaborate, because they do not share a common understanding of fairness or of the good (711)
