This volume is an exploration of the ethical issues raised by
health insurance, which is particularly timely in the light of
recent advances in medical research and political economy. Focusing
on a wide range of areas, such as AIDS, genetic engineering,
screening and underwriting, new disability legislation and the
ethics of private and public health insurance, this comprehensive
and sometimes controversial book provides an essential survey of
the key issues in health insurance. Divided into two parts, the
first considers the ethics of underwriting, risk assessment and the
acceptance and refusal of insurance risk by insurers. Discussing
the unjust treatment of high-risk applicants, the authors identify
sources of unfairness to both parties of the insurance contract,
indicating how reasonable trade-offs can be made. The second part
considers the argument for a mix of public and private insurance
for acute and long-term care, offering recommendations for changes
in the balance of social insurance, and discussing the shift toward
long-term contracts in private health care and pension insurance.
