What Does Justice in Healthcare Look Like?
b'Who deserves good health? It\\u2019s what we all want and shapes many of our decisions, but it\\u2019s not entirely within our control. The water we drink, air we breathe, and communities we live in all influence our health. How do we determine justice in healthcare? Some people have worse health because of factors beyond their control; is that fair? In this podcast episode, we\\u2019ll speak with a doctor who believes he owes his patients more than just competent care. We\\u2019ll consider how we decide, as a society, who gets priority when health resources are scarce, such as transplant organs. And we\\u2019ll hear a legal scholar\\u2019s take on what a system of \\u201cjust health\\u201d looks like in the face of systemic inequality. How can we be sure that we\\u2019re not setting people up for shorter, sicker lives just because they have less power in society? \\n\\nPodcast Guests: \\nMichael Stein, primary care physician, chair of Health Law, Policy & Management at Boston University School of Public Health, author of \\u201cAccidental Kindness\\u201d and \\u201cMe vs. Us\\u201d\\n\\nDebra Selkirk, liver transplant equality activist \\n\\nJacob Appel, emergency room psychiatrist at Mount Sinai, professor of bioethics at Icahn School of Medicine, author of \\u201cWho Says You\\u2019re Dead?\\u201d \\n\\nDayna Bowen Matthew, Dean and Harold H.
