Isi artikel

When the President’s Commission of 1983 concluded that there is an “ethical obligation” to secure universal access to a decent minimum of health care, some hoped that this standard would be achieved in the United States within a few years. Nearly 30 years later, when we began work on this issue of the Journal of Medicine and Philosophy (JMP), that standard had yet to be achieved, although the bills that would later become the Affordable Care Act (ACA) were then working their way through Congress. Now, the ACA has been passed and signed into law. The provisions of that bill aim at achieving universal access to an “essential health benefits (EHBs) package,” arguably even more comprehensive than the “decent minimum” envisioned by the President’s Commission in 1983. One might think the debate is over. Far from it. Rather, the debate has become more interesting, as attested to by the articles in this issue of JMP.
