State’s Children Health Insurance Program
A mother brings her daughter to the emergency room every time she has an
asthma attack. Her parents are part of the working middle class;
however, they cannot afford health insurance and their income exceeds
the minimum for the State’s Children Health Insurance Program or federal
assistance. The child is treated for her asthma attack at the hospital
and she is discharged from the emergency department. Two weeks later,
they return to the hospital in a virtually identical scenario. Do you
think that the child has received adequate care? Should everyone be
entitled to a basic “minimum of health care”… or to the exact same
health care? What are the ethical, moral, and legal issues that a health
administrator is faced with in this scenario?
