What is social justice, and why is health care a social justice issue?
What will be an ideal response?
ANS: (Possible answer): Social justice refers to the fair allocation of the costs and benefits of group membership. In the U.S., health care is allocated primarily on the basis of employment status and income. Some groups, such as low-income workers and their families, have limited access to health insurance and health care. The cost of unemployment is lack of health care. Some Americans question whether this system is fair.
