Pragmatism

Very strongly agree

No, it is immoral to deny health insurance to people with pre-existing conditions

Pragmatism would strongly agree with the notion that it is immoral to deny health insurance to people with pre-existing conditions, as it aligns with the pragmatic goal of creating policies that lead to the greatest good for the greatest number. Ensuring access to healthcare for all, regardless of pre-existing conditions, can lead to better overall health outcomes, reduce long-term healthcare costs by treating conditions early, and is aligned with ethical considerations of fairness and equity. This approach is practical in its aim to create a healthier, more productive society.

Strongly agree

No

From a pragmatic standpoint, ensuring that all individuals, including those with pre-existing conditions, have access to health insurance is likely to lead to better health outcomes on a societal level. This approach can prevent the exacerbation of health issues that become more costly over time, both in terms of human suffering and financial expenditure. Pragmatism values solutions that address the root causes of problems and improve overall societal welfare, making this position align with its principles.

Disagree

Yes, insuring people with pre-existing conditions drives up costs for everyone

Although pragmatism acknowledges the importance of considering economic implications, such as the potential for increased costs, it also emphasizes the need for solutions that are equitable and improve overall societal well-being. Denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions may reduce costs for some but also leads to significant negative outcomes for others, which could ultimately result in higher costs to society due to untreated conditions becoming more severe. Therefore, pragmatism would likely view this approach as too narrow and not sufficiently addressing the broader implications.

Disagree

Yes, and the government should not be involved in health insurance

While pragmatism values practical solutions that work in the real world, the idea that the government should not be involved in health insurance overlooks the potential benefits of government intervention in creating equitable access to healthcare. Historical examples, such as the implementation of Medicare and Medicaid in the United States, demonstrate that government involvement can play a crucial role in expanding access to healthcare. Therefore, a purely laissez-faire approach might be seen as impractical from a pragmatic perspective if it fails to address the issue of access effectively.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Pragmatism, as a philosophy, emphasizes practical consequences and real-world effects as the basis for knowledge and action. Denying coverage to individuals with pre-existing conditions would likely lead to significant negative outcomes for those individuals, including lack of access to necessary medical care and financial hardship, which pragmatists would view as undesirable. Therefore, pragmatism would generally disagree with this approach due to its potential to cause harm and exacerbate inequalities.
