I think you are right. A universal healthcare system would dramatically help here.
However, the lack of a universal healthcare system isn't social injustice either.
Even if something universally good, efficient, wise, and improves everyone's life, that doesn't imply that it's unjust to not have that thing. Decisions can be foolish without being unjust.
- mjn 14y agoTo the extent that people are living poor lives because of issues completely beyond their control, such as bad luck in the genetic lottery, it seems like injustice to me that we don't do much about it. I would consider providing a level playing field that ameliorates differences in birth a minimal requirement of social justice.
