Philosophy 230
Study questions: President's Commission, "An Ethical Framework
for Access to Health Care" and
Daniels, "Equal
Opportunity and Health Care"
1. What is the main conclusion of the President's Commission
regarding access to health care?
How do they defend this conclusion?
2. What conclusion does Daniels defend regarding access to health
care? How does he defend
that conclusion? (In particular,
how does equality of opportunity fit into his argument?)
3. Given these discussions, what potential problems do you see
with the President's Commission's
and Daniel's view of society's
obligation to provide health care. What objections might one
raise against their views? How
might they respond?
