Healthcare has an impact on everyone, and healthcare funding
decisions shape how and what healthcare is provided. In this book,
Stephen Duckett outlines a Christian, biblically grounded, ethical
basis for how decisions about healthcare funding and
priority-setting ought to be made. Taking a cue from the parable of
the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), Duckett articulates three
ethical principles drawn from the story: compassion as a motivator;
inclusivity, or social justice as to benefits; and responsible
stewardship of the resources required to achieve the goals of
treatment and prevention. These are principles, he argues, that
should underpin a Christian ethic of healthcare funding. Duckett's
book is a must for healthcare professionals and theologians
struggling with moral questions about rationing in healthcare. It
is also relevant to economists interested in the strengths and
weaknesses of the application of their discipline to health policy.
