Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics 3 (1):99 (1994)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Any humane society needs a just and compassionate way to care for those who are sick, and should be vigilant in identifying and eliminating barriers that frustrate efforts to adequately care for the sick. Some current insurance underwriting practices constitute effective barriers to access to healthcare and serve to diminish the place of freedom and justice in our healthcare system
