> " ... This book takes the conversation between bioethics and health policy
> to a new level. Moving beyond principles and normative frameworks,
> bioethicists writing in the volume consider the actual policy problems
faced
> by health care systems, while policy-makers reflect on the moral values
> inherent in both the process and content of health policy.
>
> The result is a vigorous dialogue with some of the nation's leading
experts
> at the interface of ethics and health policy. The book provides a history
of
> the values implicit in U.S. health policy, a discussion of the federal and
> state roles in policy making, an ethical examination of the social goals
> expressed through various policies, an analysis of the role of public
> opinion in the creation of health policy, and an exploration of the value
of
> the private sector in health policy. In addition, the authors examine some
> of the major ethical controversies in health policy, such as the challenge
> of balancing ethical concerns and economic realities, the need to allocate
> scarce resources, the call for heightened accountability, and the impact
of
> various policies on vulnerable populations.
>
> The book concludes with an examination of the ethical issues in health
> services research, including the threats to privacy that arise in such
> research. To a greater extent than any previous volume, it establishes a
> strong connection between the disciplines of medical ethics and health
> policy.
