Politics, public policy, and healthcare.
In many cases, justice is the ethical principle that drives decisions around politics, public policy, and healthcare. This article presents the ethical principle of justice as it relates to the equitable distribution of healthcare goods and services. The impact of politics, especially in a presidential election year, is discussed as it relates to agendas and alternatives for healthcare policy formation--specifically, as it directly and indirectly influences wound care and wound care delivery. Opportunities for wound care clinicians are presented.
