Building on recent insights on the nature of moral perceptions and motivations from the neurosciences, it makes a case for the traditional medical ethic and examines its financial feasibility. The book starts out by giving an account of the concept of justice and tracing it back to the practices and tenets of Hippocrates and his followers, while taking into account findings from the neurosciences. Next, it considers whether the claim that it is just to limit medical care for everyone to some basic minimum is justifiable. The book then addresses finances and expenditures of the US health care system and shows that the growth of expenditures and the percentage of the gross national product spent on health care make for an unsustainable trajectory. In light of the question what should be changed, the book suggests that overdiagnosis and medicalizing normal behavior lead to harmful, costly and unnecessary interventions and are the result of unethical behavior on the part of the pharmaceutical industry and extensive ethical failures of the FDA. The book ends with suggestions about what can be done to put the U.S. health care system on the path to sustainability, better medical care, and compliance with the demands of justice. 410 0$aLibrary of Public Policy and Public Administration,$x1566-7669 ;$v13 606 $aEthics 606 $aMedical education 606 $aBioethics 606 $aSocial medicine 606 $aMedicine?Philosophy 606 $aMoral Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E41000 606 $aMedical Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O26000 606 $aBioethics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14010 606 $aMedical Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22150 606 $aPhilosophy of Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34030 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aMedical education. 615 0$aBioethics. 615 0$aSocial medicine. 615 0$aMedicine?Philosophy. 615 14$aMoral Philosophy. 615 24$aMedical Education. 615 24$aBioethics. 615 24$aMedical Sociology. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Medicine. 676 $a344.730321 700 $aDyck$b Arthur J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0911787 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349364003321 996 $aAchieving Justice in the U.S. Healthcare System$92041858 997 $aUNINA
