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.

Haydn found that the patronage system provided the stability needed to be a successful artist while Mozart felt that the patronage system was too restrictive. Which setting do you think would be more conducive to creating great art: a stable job in which you have to answer to an employer, or that of a freelancer who answers only to himself/herself but doesn’t necessarily have a stable income?

Case Study

Instructions

Recent studies support the potential of a drug that is derived from the metal iridium to effectively treat cancer. This experimental drug, Drug ZL105, has not been tested for efficacy and toxicity. Imagine that you are the one responsible for approving or denying the use of this drug within the United States. Your job is to propose the testing that is needed for this drug to be determined as safe and effective for the treatment of cancer in humans. In your research and discussion, you should address the questions below.

1. What model(s) will you use for testing (i.e., animal, cell cultures, computer simulations)? Explain the choice of model, and provide support for the reliability of the model. Discuss the pros and cons of your choice.
2. In determining the safety and effectiveness of the drug, would it be necessary to test efficacy, toxicity, and lethality? Explain what each of these tests are for and whether or not one or more of the tests are necessary for your determination.
3. Provide your thoughts on what information you hope to gather from your tests and whether or not the same protocol should be used for various categories of products such as drugs, cosmetics, and herbal medicines.

Your case study assignment should be three to four pages in length and utilize at least three reliable references. Use APA style guidelines in writing this assignment, following APA rules for formatting, quoting, paraphrasing, citing, and referencing.

Part 1: Please read the following scenarios. For each scenario, answer the following questions: a) what is the independent variable, b) what is the dependent variable, and c) is this a between-subjects or within-subjects design?

1. A child psychologist wants to determine the effects of cloth versus paper diapers on toilet training. Day-old infants will be used to begin the project. The age at which diapers are no longer needed (to the nearest week) will be determined.
2. A researcher wants to determine whether rats learn a complex maze more quickly when practice is spaced (spread out in time) rather than massed. The effects of massing practice trials (one trial every 10 seconds) will be compared with the effects of distributing practice trials (one every 10 minutes). The number of trials the rats need to learn the maze perfectly will be counted.
3. A local brewery is test-marketing flavored beer. It wants to see whether consumers prefer strawberry-, licorice-, or avocado-flavored beer. Several bottles of each flavor will be made. Consumers will fill out a questionnaire on how much they like the flavor, body, and aroma of the various flavors.
