Problem
Rights and ethics are often flipsides of the same coin. If individual rights in healthcare are derived from one or more ethical principles, they help to achieve an acceptable outcome for the patient and the healthcare system. Because individuals' rights and access to healthcare influence the decision making related to policies and laws, it is essential to understand and address them. Similarly, it is equally important to understand and incorporate ethical practices in healthcare, because these practices impact stakeholders in healthcare.
a) Describe whether you believe healthcare is a right or a privilege.
b) Describe how your view addresses the rights and needs of individuals versus the rights and needs of public health systems.
c) Describe the need to understand individuals' rights and access in health policy decisions.
d) Describe how your chosen ethical model impacts stakeholders' influence on health policy decisions.
