Apply the appropriate ethical theories you have studied to the two solutions/positions you identified in your research. Compare possible outcomes of the solutions/positions represented by the ethical theories.

The two solutions/positions I identified in my research are the implementation of a universal healthcare system and the implementation of private health insurance. From an ethical perspective, a universal healthcare system can be seen as utilitarian in nature since it seeks to maximize the greatest good for everyone by providing access to adequate care regardless of socioeconomic status or circumstances. On the other hand, private health insurance could be viewed through a Kantian lens which emphasizes treating people with respect and dignity by allowing them to choose their own coverage options – something which may not be possible under a more one-size-fits-all approach.

In terms of potential outcomes, implementing a universal healthcare system could lead to greater overall health due to increased access and improved quality of care while also reducing financial costs associated with medical services. Conversely, private health insurance could potentially result in higher premiums as well as unequal coverage depending on an individual’s ability or willingness to pay – thus creating a situation where some are better off than others. Ultimately both approaches have their pros and cons that should be taken into consideration when making decisions on how best to provide equitable access to healthcare.
