1. Is it ethical for critics of health care reform to obstruct reforms by repeatedly challenging the validity of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) and is such social movement advocacy compatible with fidelity and devotion to the law?

2. What values and ethical principles are holding back implementation of U.S. health care reforms? Specifically, if it is impossible for any government to finance health care commensurate with its demand, because the potential demand (the desire) for care is virtually unlimited, what values and ethical principles should guide allocation decisions for the $2.6 trillion spent on health care each year?

3. While the ongoing calls for health care reforms exist, what is it that makes ethical issues involving health care so difficult to resolve?

4. Would the health care system be sustainable if every member of society were equally entitled to access basic health insurance for their care, or should everyone only be equally entitled to medically necessary care based on their ability to pay for such care?

In Brief: The subject of significant bipartisan debate for more than a year, the day after the ACA was signed into law, opposition to its implementation began. Phil Gramm, a former Texas.
