States of Health

The Ethics and Consequences of Policy Variation in a Federal System

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

States of Health identifies the practical relevance of federalism in the United States to people facing ethical decisions about health and health care, and it considers the theoretical justifications for permissible differences among states. It asks whether authority over important aspects of health is misaligned in the United States today, with some matters problematically left to the states while others are taken over by the federal government.
