KANT, HEALTH-CARE AND JUSTIFICATION

An argument based on Kant for access to health-care for all is a most helpful addition to prior discussions. My paper argues that while such a point of view is helpful it fails to be persuasive. What is needed, in addition to a notion of the legislative will, is a viewpoint of co mmunity which sees justice as originating not merely from consideratio ns of reason alone but from a notion of community and from a framework of common human experiences and capabilities.
