摘要

医疗民粹主义作为处理公共卫生危机挑战的一种政治方式,主要是根据其对政府努力应对当前大流行挑战(例如与检测、疫苗接种和社区限制有关的挑战)的效力的影响进行分析的。由于这些努力具有道德后果(例如,它们将影响人们的福祉,并可能导致痛苦、失去机会和不公平的分配),因此非常需要对医疗民粹主义的伦理进行分析。在这篇文章中,我们解决了需要分析医疗民粹主义的道德维度,将其与医疗伦理问题联系起来。具体而言,我们通过展示医疗民粹主义如何导致政府未能履行其道德义务,为其人民提供医疗保健需求,并相应地侵犯人民获得医疗保健的道德权利,从而确定医疗民粹主义的道德意义。我们认为,在医疗民粹主义下,政府往往会错误地处理约束,而这些约束在道德上证明了它们在履行这一职责方面的缺陷是合理的。我们认为这些约束主要是指政府给定的(经济和制度)能力以及它们的竞争性职责的相对在职程度。

Medical Populism and the Moral Right to Healthcare
Medical populism, as a political style of handling the challenges of a public health crisis, has primarily been analyzed in terms of its influence on the efficacy of governmental efforts to meet the challenges of the current pandemic (such as those related to testing, vaccination, and community restrictions). As these efforts have moral consequences (they, for instance, will affect people’s wellbeing and may lead to suffering, loss of opportunities, and unfair distributions), an analysis of the ethics of medical populism is much needed. In this essay, we address the need to analyze the moral dimension of medical populism by relating it to issues in healthcare ethics. Specifically, we identify the moral significance of medical populism by demonstrating how it contributes to the failure of governments to discharge their moral duty to provide for the healthcare needs of their people, and, correlatively, to the violation of the people’s moral right to healthcare. We argue that with medical populism, governments tend to mishandle the constraints that would morally justify their shortcomings in fulfilling such duty. We identify such constraints as mainly referring to the governments’ given (economic and institutional) capacities and the relative degree of incumbency of their competing duties.
