    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Justice requires giving priority to the worst-off, and less efficient universal programs systematically produce worse outcomes for the most severely disadvantaged.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.When universal programs fail to narrow health inequalities, they perpetuate the material conditions that generate stigma in the first place, making them counterproductive on their own terms.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Rawlsian difference principle logic entails that symbolic harms from stigma cannot override concrete, measurable harms to those already at the bottom of health distributions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Norman Daniels argues health justice is grounded in fair equality of opportunity, which is maximized by efficiently targeting those whose opportunities are most compromised by disease.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Replacing efficient targeted programs with universal ones to manage stigma relocates the burden of unjust social attitudes onto sick individuals by denying them optimal care.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The state's obligation to correct unjust stigmatizing attitudes belongs to anti-discrimination and expressive policy domains, not to the distribution of health interventions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
