title: [Justice in health. Comment on the theory by Norman Daniels].
abstract: This comment outlines the current approach of Norman Daniels and illustrates its connection to the important theory of political justice by John Rawls. Despite some conceptual imprecision and a lack of coherency between his substantial and procedural account of justice, Daniels' approach qualifies as a benchmark for other current and future theories of justice and health. The social and political implications of his theory are far reaching: We are still far from protecting our health in the way we owe it to each other.
