Just Caring: Health Care Rationing and
Democratic Deliberation (2009)

What does it mean to be a “just” and “caring” society when we have only limited resources to meet unlimited health care needs? Do we believe that all lives are of equal value? Is human life priceless? Should a “just” and “caring” society refuse to put limits on health care spending? In Just Caring, Leonard Fleck refl ects on the central moral and political challenges of health reform today.
