This essay argues that no theory or single conception of justice can provide a fundamental grounding for health care reform in the United States. To provide such a grounding, (1) there would need to be widespread support among citizens for a particular conception of justice, (2) citizens would have to apprehend this common conception of justice as providing the strongest available rationale for health care reform, and (3) this rationale would have to overwhelm countervailing values. I argue that neither of the first two conditions is met.
本文认为，没有任何一种理论或单一的正义概念可以为美国的医疗改革提供基本的基础。要提供这样的基础，（1）公民需要广泛支持特定的正义概念，（2）公民需要将这种共同的正义概念理解为提供医疗改革的最强有力的依据，（3）这种依据必须压倒相反的价值观。我认为，前两个条件都没有得到满足。
