Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Health Policy
  • Social Justice

Background:

  • Norman Daniels' theories on justice and healthcare (1985, 2008) offer limited discussion on personal health responsibility.
  • Daniels rejects luck-egalitarian views on health responsibility due to potential harshness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a broader, more equitable concept of health responsibility compatible with Daniels' "Just Health" framework.
  • To explore the implications of health responsibility in preventative medicine and health promotion.

Main Methods:

  • Critical analysis of Norman Daniels' philosophical arguments on justice and health.
  • Conceptual development of health responsibility as co-responsibility.

Main Results:

  • Identified and endorsed dimensions of health responsibility acknowledged by Daniels.
  • Proposed a co-responsibility model that assigns responsibility without blame.
  • Disconnected health responsibility from treatment entitlement and prioritization.

Conclusions:

  • The co-responsibility model enhances conceptual clarity and plausibility for health responsibility.
  • This approach supports the "health is special" notion central to Daniels' work.
  • The model can inform health policy and reduce political tensions surrounding health accountability.
