Are all people entitled to equal medical care? Quality? Quantity? Urgency? Is it morally defensible or morally indefensible that people could be allowed to purchase medical care that is not available to people with less disposable financial resources? If it is morally defensible, should people be able to purchase medical insurance that has no limits? should people be able to purchase medical insurance that has specific limits (and save premiums)? Is it morally defensible that people should be required to buy medical insurance that exceeds their available income? Should companies be allowed to offer a choice of great and terrible insurance to their employees? Why or why not?
