Budgets of governments and private insurances are limited. Not all
drugs and services that appear beneficial to patients or physicians
can be covered. Is there a core set of benefits that everyone
should be entitled to? If so, how should this set be determined?
Are fair decisions just impossible, if we know from the outset than
not all needs can be met? While early work in bioethics has focused
on clinical issues and a narrow set of principles, in recent years
there has been a marked shift towards addressing broader
population-level issues, requiring consideration of more demanding
theories in philosophy, political science, and economics. At the
heart of bioethics new orientation is the goal of clarity on a
complex set of questions in rationing and resource allocation.
Rationing and Resource Allocation in Healthcare: Essential Readings
provides key excerpts from seminal and pertinent texts and case
studies about these topics, contextualized by original
introductions. The volume is divided into three broad sections:
Conceptual Distinctions and Ethical Theory; Rationing; and Resource
Allocation. Containing the most important and classic articles
surrounding the theoretical and practical issues related to
rationing and how to allocate scare medical resources, this
collection aims to assist and inform those who wish to be a part of
bioethics' 21st century shift including practitioners and
policy-makers, and students and scholars in the health sciences,
philosophy, law, and medical ethics.
