Talk about stepping into the thick of it! I am on my way to DePaul Law School this evening to engage in a conversation with a class on some of the ethical dimensions of the Affordable Care Act of 2010. Yes, “people have the responsibility of caring for themselves if they can,” (Heritage Foundation). Yes, it’s inexcusable that in a nation like the USA there are tens of millions of citizens without access to affordable healthcare. Yes, there are structural limitations and implementation issues inherent in the current proposal. Ethics is about, among other things, the quality of our deliberation on the tensions of these yeses, while we keep moving forward on the decisions of the House, the Senate and the U.S. Supreme Court. I expect to do a lot of listening and learning.
