Contrary to European countries, a universal health care
system has not been accepted in the US. The major influences in the development
of the US healthcare system can be traced back to the events following WWII. In
your second essay, please address the following:
A. Describe two philosophical ideologies
(economic, political, and cultural) that significantly influenced the
development of an anti-universal healthcare system in the US. (minimum two
paragraphs)
B. Give two ethical-moral principles
that are violated by the US healthcare system and demonstrate their impact
on social determinants of health in vulnerable populations. (minimum
two paragraphs)
