Health, Luck, and Justice

Discover a thought-provoking exploration of health equity in Health, Luck, and Justice by Shlomi Segall, published by Princeton University Press in 2009. This insightful hardback, spanning 256 pages, challenges traditional Rawlsian perspectives on health policy.

He emphasizes that true justice in health and healthcare arises when society actively seeks to mitigate the impacts of bad luck on individuals' well-being. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in social justice, health services accessibility, and the social aspects of medical policy in the United States. Engage with Segall's critical insights and contribute to the conversation on how we can create a fairer health system for all.
