INVITATION

Is there an ethical imperative to address the social determinants of health?

Un débat public avec

Ted Schrecker (Associate Professor, Department of Epidemiology and Community Medicine, University of Ottawa) et Daniel Weinstock (Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Centre de recherche en éthique de l’Université de Montréal)

Question:

Be it Resolved: The Canadian government should enact a special tax on the top 10% of earners, which will finance a new ‘Social Determinants of Health’ fund. Proceeds from this tax will be used exclusively for programs whose goal is to ensure that all Canadians have education, income, and housing necessary to have an adequate level of health and longevity. The fund will be administered by a panel of experts in the social determinants of health.
