Discussion Post: Legal Foundations- Regulatory Environment in Health Care
Discuss the legal foundation for why prisoners are assumed to have a right to medical treatment by the state, but law abiding citizens not in prison have no such right. Consider the following in your discussion:
• What logic is there for this legal phenomenon?
• Do you think this is just? Should law abiding citizens receive the same standard of care provided to prisoners?
• If you don't believe this is just, what might you propose to change it?
• Under what conditions is a hospital, physician or other provider required to give care, or refuse to give care?
The response should include a reference list. One-inch margins, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
