qui nous présentera son article intitulé

What Should an Egalitarian Require of the Provision of Health Care?

Abstract: Egalitarians fall roughly into two camps. Distributional or luck egalitarians maintain that differences in the benefits and burdens individuals encounter for which they are not responses or are not deserved are in themselves bad or unjust. Relational egalitarians (in my view) have four basic moral concerns. (1) that people manifest self-respect, (2) that individuals are not dominated by others, (3) that individuals show respect and consideration for one another, and (4) that they care about others fare. Egalitarians may place different weights on these different moral considerations. Thusrelational egalitarianism is a family of positions rather than a well-specified normative political theory. The differences in the emphasis theories place on the fundamental egalitarian values leads to differences in which inequalities (for example, inequalities in power, status, opportunities) are of the greatest concern to different relational egalitarians.
Pluralistic relational egalitarians want the interactions that individuals have with the health care system to accord with the four core egalitarian values and promote other non-egalitarian values such as freedom and well-being. Do they want equal treatment, equal outcomes, or equal access, and what constitutes equality of treatment, outcome, or access?
This essay argues that relational egalitarians want a health-care system that provides equal access to a set of treatments, which result in a distribution of the goods relational egalitarians are concerned with (such as power and status) that promotes the core egalitarian values (such as equal respect and avoiding subjugation). The treatments to which individuals have access depend upon their cost-effectiveness at promoting pluralistic relational ideals.
