3 The (narrow) Right to Health playing field Source:

4 The (broader) Right to Health playing field Access to and utilization of health care is vital to good and equitable health. Source: [but] The Commission s main finding is straightforward: the conditions in which people are born, live, and work are the single most important determinant of good health, or ill health; of a long and productive life, or a short and miserable one.

5 The need for a broader perspective: example of tobacco World Health Organization. WHO report on the global tobacco epidemic, 2008: the MPOWER package. World Health Organization, 2008.

6 The full Right to Health playing field Urban (rural) planning Clean air acts Regulating failing markets Source: Daniels, N., Rationing fairly: Programmatic considerations. Bioethics 7(2/3): Prioritizations: Narrow-broad Sequence&interact ion of 3 dimensions Benefit package: Priority: (How much) priority to worse-off? Aggregation: Minor benefits to large numbers vs major benefits to fewer?

7 Recognizing that not all needs can be met Accountability for Reasonableness Four conditions: publicity; relevance; revision and appeals; regulation Relevance: [Decision is] reasonable if it appeals to evidence, reasons and principles that are accepted as relevant by [fair minded] people who are disposed to finding mutually justifiable terms of cooperation.
