Anotacija:
How should medical services be distributed within society? Who should pay for them? Is it right that large amounts should be spent on sophisticated new technology and expensive operations, or would the resources be better employed in, for instance, less costly preventive measures?
Just Health Care will be of interest to students of philosophy and medicine, medical administrators and political scientists, as well as general readers interested in the equitable distribution of health-care services.
