Discussion: Defending universal health care

During a discussion over lunch, a nurse assistant states to his employer (a physician) that he believes that the aim of universal health care should be to “cover” all individuals living in a society. The assistant says it is “our obligation” as a society to take care of one another. The physician argues against this idea because this form of health care coverage will not lend itself to financial stability to the medical profession and most likely will result in a decline in income for her as a medical provider (and by extension, staff salaries will decrease).

Your Assignment:

Discuss which ethical theory has guided the assistant’s position to defend universal health care?

Which ethical theory has guided the physician’s position not to support universal health care?

State your personal position and discuss which ethical theory makes most sense to you in making your case.

Your original post of at least 200 words. Be sure to include at least one reference which is cited in APA format (both in-text and references section entry).

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
