Evening Ethics Discussion: Primary health care as a common good
Details
Do we consider primary health care a common good?
From the article linked below:
"[Primary Health Care] recognizes that the wellbeing of individuals is foundational to the wellbeing of the collective. It is a necessary function that the collective provides to its members to ensure mutual health, safety and security.
"The American healthcare system has thus far failed to adopt primary health care as a common good.
"Market-based competition creates business motivations for health care delivery that are incongruous with the common good and indifferent to the social mandates of equity in access and sustainability of primary health care as a resource for the collective."
Let's talk about how primary health care is a common good and how the US system has failed to provide for the common good, and what we can do about it.
Please be prepared to have your camera on, a requirement of attending this virtual meeting.
