consequences of the public policymaking process are directly affected by the ethics of those who participate in it. The ethical principle of justice provides much of the foundation for all health policies, whether allocative or regulatory. Justice is often defined as fairness. Opinions vary on the issue of fair distribution of the benefits and burdens involved in the pursuit of health in American society. The three most prominent perspectives on justice are the egalitarian, libertarian, and utilitarian perspectives. Select one of these perspectives and provide an example of how it has been

Here is a selection from an abstract of a recent study entitled “The effect of health insurance coverage on the use of medical services” by Michael Anderson, Carlos Dobkin, and Tal Gross (2010). NBER Working paper No. 15823. Substantial uncertainty exists regarding the causal effect of health insurance on the utilization of care. Most studies cannot determine whether the large differences in healthcare utilization between the insured and the uninsured are due to insurance status or to other unobserved differences between the two groups. In this paper, we exploit a sharp change in insurance coverage rates that results from young adults “aging out” of their parents insurance plans to estimate the effect of insurance coverage on the utilization of emergency department (ED) and inpatient services. [In the US, children are eligible for insurance coverage through their parents’ insurance only up to their 23rd birthday, at which point they lose eligibility.] Using the National Health…
In particular, we want to know whether the scrappage scheme can create a moral hazard problem. To guide our analysis, consider the following simple model. The government would like to introduce a subsidy to help citizens who need their car for work and cannot afford to buy a ULEZ-compliant car. It also wants to ensure that only citizens who need to drive their car regularly use the subsidy. Instead of the two groups of citizens discussed above, we focus on one particular citizen who does not drive very often, only once a year. As a result, this citizen does not emit excessive pollution even with a car that is not ULEZ-compliant. The government would therefore prefer citizens like her not to buy a new car to avoid having to pay the subsidy unnecessarily. Once a year, the citizen derives a benefit of driving through the ULEZ area of B = 20. She can choose to either buy a new ULEZ-compliant car at a cost of C = 10, 000, denoted x = new, or stick with her old car at no cost, denoted x =…
In the early 2000s, the state of Massachusetts in the U.S. implemented a health reform aimed at enrolling people without health insurance into an insurance plan. The reform required people without health insurance (at least those who could afford it) to buy insurance, and put in place penalties on those who nevertheless chose not to buy insurance. Below is the abstract of a recent National Bureau of Economic Research working paper entitled “Health Reform, Health Insurance, and Selection: Estimating Selection into Health Insurance Using the Massachusetts Health Reform” by Martin Hackmann, Jonathan Kolstad, and Amanda Kowalski. The authors conducted a study of the effects of the Massachusetts reform. They write: We implement an empirical test for selection into health insurance using changes in coverage induced by the introduction of mandated health insurance in Massachusetts. Our test examines changes in the cost of the newly insured relative to those who were insured prior to the…

Assume that the daily demand for packs of cigarettes in the tobacco-addicted nation of Pcorian is Q=100−P Further assume that the marginal cost of producing a pack of cigarettes is §6, and that the market for cigarettes is perfectly competitive. Assume that each pack of cigarettes smoked does §6 worth of health damage to the smoker in the form of increased cancer risk and a total of §5 worth of health damage to the smoker’s neighbors via secondhand smoke. Finally, assume that all Pcorian cigarette consumers are aware of these costs. Suppose the government decides to pursue a Pigouvian solution to eliminate social loss. What sort of tax or subsidy would they implement, and what is the resulting quantity of cigarette packs purchased? 2. The opposition party in the Pcorian parliament loudly opposes the proposed tax plan as government meddling. The opposition leader invokes the Coase theorem and says that the socially efficient level of smoking will occur even in the absence of…

True or false 1. A perceived disadvantage of Rawls's social justice theory is that it does not consider the fact that people would not want to maximize benefits for the least advantaged persons 2. Ethical relativism is a moral theory which holds that individuals must decide what is ethical based on their own feelings about what is right and wrong. 3. Utilitarianism is a moral theory that chooses the greatest good to society but does not mean the greatest good for the greatest number of people. 4. According to Rawls's “social justice” theory, a person who is in a state of "veil of ignorance" is best fit to select the fairest possible ethical principles. Please help, & thank you!
