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 applied to health policy or how it has been proposed that it be applied to health policy.

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…
A number of professional associations, such as the American Medical Association and the American Bar Association, support regulations that make it more costly for their members (for example, doctors and lawyers) to practice their services. While some of these regulations may stem from a genuine desire for higher-quality medical and legal services, self-interest may also play a role. Explain.

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…
