Question

1. Explain and support the reasoning position of Menzel.

2. What will be an objection to Daniel’s point of view?

Everyone in our Health Care and Justice unit understands that the US health care system is flawed and that access to health care is currentlya highly debated topic. The two philosophers we'll focus on in this debate, Norman Daniels and Paul Menzel, both argue that citizens have a right to access at least a basic level of health care. How they justify this position, however, differs. Their positions will be represented as follows: Daniels: US citizens have a right to health care insofar as their health inhibits their normal opportunity range. Menzel: US citizens have a right to health care because it is both a pre-existing moral belief in our culture and a current capability of our health care system.

Answer 1

1, US president declared that health care must be right for every Americans..due to uninsured disparities this right is become a question..in US health care coverage based on insurance it may be government or private based..Most of the US population is insured by federal,state,employer or private health insurance,and remaining people left uninsured..due to lack of access to health care there is increased mortality..America having single payer system for elderly people.. Affordable care Act reduce the number of uninsured in every age, income group and state it increases access to care..In 2010 US health care reduced pre-existing conditions and restricted yearly income limits on coverage to 30million Americans..it provides universal care..Health reform for poor access coverd by Medicare, and medicaid..The legislation introduced a subsidy for low and middle income individual..US health care ensuring access to health care is right..

2, Daniel's point of view is so inclusive and it losses systematic power. Health care needs impact due to diversity of insurance plans for aging ,pregnant woman to inhibits their opportunity.health care syasys struggling with high costs and no quality..
