Complete summary of Article
This article discusses a new technology being introduced in doctors office.
(5Ws and H) (Who, What,
The article is based out of a doctors office in Wilmington, Delaware. A
When, Where, Why, and How?) patient who was suffering from neck pains was tired of waiting in offices for
hours. A doctor agreed with her complaints and came up with a direct paying
system for her office. It is a fee that patient pays for a whole year of medical
care. It allows three to four checkups and covers routinely producers. It is
providing people with the same opportunity of health care.
Core Democratic Value(s)
1.Justice
2. Common Good
Rationale for each of the CDVs 1. Justice fits this article because it is offering a service to everyone. They are
(Why does the CDV you chose
all receiving a flat rate and being offered the same amount of services
fit this issue?)
covered under that rate. It is just another option of health care that is more
affordable.
2.This article also supports common good because individuals in a
community created this plan. The doctor who started offering did it because
she thought it was more beneficial to people in her community. The women
who brought up the complaint got an answer from her community doctors
and resulted in a solution that is benefiting many people.
