Equity considerations in health care: the relevance of claims
用公理讨价还价理论分析医疗资源分配中的公平与效率问题,重点研究基于诉求的分配方案,并展示一项关于人们道德直觉的调查结果。
The general issues of equity and efficiency are central to the analysis of resource allocation problems in health care. We examine them using axiomatic bargaining theory. We study different solutions that have been proposed and relate them to previous literature on health care allocation. In particular, we focus on the solutions based on axiomatic bargaining with claims, and show that they are appealing as distributive criteria in health policy. Finally, we present the results of a survey that tries to elicit moral intuitions of people about resource allocation problems and their different solutions.
