While the number of Americans without health insurance has dropped significantly due to the passage of the Affordable Care Act, nearly 30 million Americans remain without health coverage and experience limited access to health care. This considerable figure should be of tremendous moral concern, as studies have shown that tens of thousands of Americans die each year due to this lack of health coverage. Additionally, universal health coverage would promote fairness, equality and greater transparency and accountability concerning access to health care. 000004045 650__ $$aUniversal Health Care$$013111 000004045 650__ $$aPatient Protection and Affordable Care Act$$039451 000004045 650__ $$aMedically Uninsured$$029654 000004045 650__ $$aEthical Theory$$033515 000004045 650__ $$aHealth Care Rationing$$028281 000004045 650__ $$aHealth Services Accessibility$$019904 000004045 6531_ $$afair-equality-of-opportunity-principle 000004045 6531_ $$amarket failure 000004045 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000004045 692__ $$aDivision of Management$$041635 000004045 7001_ $$aMeyer, Michael$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000004045 8564_ $$9cbfe5f68-5f18-43d6-993c-31ddff968da0$$s292119$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/4045/files/The_Ethics_of_Universal_Health_Care_In_The_United_States.pdf 000004045 905__ $$a/rest/prod/sf/26/85/41/sf268541c 000004045 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:4045$$pstudent-work 000004045 980__ $$aReflections on Healthcare Management
