RE: Sect. 1 Week 14 DQ 12: Justice and access to health care
Does society have a responsibility to provide access to health care to those who lack it?
I feel my position lies somewhere between Utilitarian and Communitarian. The purpose of medicine is to bring the greatest good for the greatest number of people. And if we highlight the community and not any one individual, it sounds more fair, "the city of Anchorage has a right to accessible health care." Morally, no one should agree with statements like "the city of Anchorage, minus the Jews, has a right to accessible health care," so I feel singling out a particular group (homeless, unemployed, drunkards, etc.) is used to highlight dissatisfaction with a particular group and distract from the fact that our current system fails even those who can afford to pay.
Taking a communitarian/utilitarian view seems to be the most beneficial. If everyone has access to preventative health care, then the overall cost on society will be lessened, see the article on super-users. Our system is set up in a way that the most expensive care is the only one available. A $200 office visit and $10 prescription for blood thinners is way more cost effective than a $10,000 ER and hospital stay for a stroke. Proactive treatment should be preferred to reactive treatment. Justice in this case can be done for both the individual needing the treatment, and to taxpayers, in the form of optimizing the money they put into the system.

First, please consider this "list of failures and
successes" in the life of Abraham Lincoln. We're
suggesting that one of Lincoln's greatest attributes was his
ability to recover and learn from failure. The quality of
perseverance seemed especially useful to Lincoln as he
struggled with "melancholy" (what might now be called depression)
Please read this related article by Joshua Wolf Shenk.
For Lincoln, learning how to persevere also meant learning how to
adapt. Based on your reading of Shenk's article, please
identify three of Lincoln's most successful adaptation strategies
(skills, habits, or ways of thinking) that helped him use his
struggle with depression to accomplish worthy goals.
