摘要:This paper seeks to provide an overview of some of the main areas of debate that have emerged
in recent years at the interface between theories of justice and health care. First, the paper consi-
ders various positions as to what the index of justice with respect to health ought to be. It warns
on practical and principled grounds against conceptual inflation of the notion of "health" as it
appears in theories of distributive justice. Second, it considers how various standards according to
which goods ought to be distributed in a just society apply to debates within health care.
