ENGELHARDT ON HEALTH CARE AS ARIGHT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
WITH SOLUTIONS 2024
In our reading, Engelhardt makes the following claim: "One will need an argument dependent on a
particular sense of fairness to show that the readers of this volume should submit to the forceable
redistribution of their resources to provide health care for those injured by nature. It may very well be
unfeeling, unsympathetic, or uncharitable not to provide such help. One may face eternal hellfires for
failing to provide aid. But it is another thing to show in general secular moral terms that individuals owe
others such help in a way that would morally authorize state force to redistribute their private resources
and energies or to constrain their free choices with others. To be in dire need does not by itself create a
secular moral right to be rescued from that need. The natural lottery creates inequalities and places
individuals at disadvantage without creating a straightforward secular moral obligation on the part -
ANSWER An adequate secular morality can be developed which will explain and justify our obligations to
help those whose dire health care needs result from the natural lottery.
In our reading Engelhardt states that "those who lose in both the natural and social lottery will be in
need of health care , but without the resources to acquire it." Does Engelhardt think that it is morally
acceptable for society to not provide needed resources and thus allow the person to die of a preventable
health care crisis? - ANSWER Yes, because there is no way to provide for those in need without imposing
on others the forced redistribution of their property through taxation.
Engelhardt would disagree with which of the below claims? - ANSWER When people suffer as a result of
the natural lottery, and not as a result of the actions of others, then society has an obligation to provide
help to alleviate such suffering.
Which of the below best explains Engelhardt's definition of goals-based principles as it relates to health
care? - ANSWER Goals-based principles are ones that seek to achieve a certain conception of the good,
such as promoting the well-being of citizens as it relates to health care.
In our reading Engelhardt states: "Injuries, disabilities, and diseases due to the unconsented-to actions of
others are unfair. Still, outcomes of the unfair actions of others are not necessarily society's fault and are
in this sense unfortunate. The horrible injuries that come every night to the emergency rooms of major
hospitals may be someone's fault, even if they are not the fault of society, much less that of uninvolved
citizens. Such outcomes, though unfair with regard to the relationship of the injured with the injurer,
may simply be unfortunate with respect to society and other citizens."In light of the above reasoning,
Engelhardt would disagree with which of the below claims? - ANSWER Society has a responsibility to
address the health care needs of its citizens when those needs are the result of actions of fellow
members of the society.
