Summary

Government intervention in online pharmacies is justified to mitigate harm and negative externalities, balancing autonomy with paternalism for improved public health outcomes and utility maximization in medical e-commerce.

Area of Science:

  • Health economics
  • Public policy
  • Utilitarianism

Background:

  • The debate on balancing personal choice and government intervention in market economies is central to health care economics.
  • Online pharmacies present unique challenges regarding regulation and consumer protection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the necessity and efficiency of public policy interventions for over 35,000 online pharmacies.
  • To determine if government intervention can enhance personal utility maximization in medical e-commerce.
  • To apply John Stuart Mill's utilitarian principle of harm to online pharmaceutical markets.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of market-oriented approaches versus government intervention in the context of online pharmacies.
  • Assessment of John Stuart Mill's principle of harm to justify policy interventions.
