| Abstract: |
This article argues that foundational elements of Confucian moral commitments still provide the background moral substance for moral reflection in mainland china, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and Korea. This article presents implications of Confucianism for establishing an appropriate health care system and critically assesses the features of current health policies in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The goal is to offer a family-oriented, non-individualist account of resource allocation that takes family authority and responsibility seriously. |
