Concerns have also been voiced about the lack of comprehensive health care coverage and insufficient policies for disputing managed care decisions. The development of a proposed federal Patients’ Bill of Rights or, as it was later renamed, the Bipartisan Patient Protection Act, is a direct consequence of those concerns. The dramatic growth of the managed care industry has prompted calls to give patients a stronger voice in determining which medical interventions will be covered by insurance. Critical components of this bill are the right to information, the right to choose, the right to be a full partner in health care decisions, and the right to have an expeditious resolution of complaints.

As recently as the late 1940s, medical services accounted for just 4 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in the United States. Even in the 1940s, however, less than 10 percent of the population, or just 12 million people, had access to health insurance coverage. Most of those who were covered by health insurance paid for it privately. Only a small number of the 38 CHAPTER 2 majority of the population that was uninsured could afford to pay for health care services out of pocket. Thus, they simply had no access to necessary health care.

The concept of distributive justice is an ethics theoretical one and, according to agency theory, it is not the responsibility of the principals to deal with it. As a matter of fact, principals act out of self-interestedness, trying to make the most out of the situation without any concern about distribution at all. Agency theory does not presuppose commitment to a theory of distributive justice, nor does it make any general claims about the just distribution of social goods. The actual process of distribution is decided on by negotiation and depends in large part on the degree of imbalance of authority between the negotiating parties.
