Discuss a leader's effectiveness using utilitarianism as the ethical decision-making approach in regard to the health care challenges set forth by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010
Explanation / Answer
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010
The act was ordained to upturn the quality & affordability of health insurance, reduce the uncovered rate by escalating public and private insurance coverage, & decrease the expenditures of healthcare for citizens & the administration
Utilitarianism
Utilitarianism suggests that the ethical decision-making approach & action is the one that offers the maximum good for the maximum number of individuals or institutes.
A Leader's effectiveness by means of utilitarianism is measured by how much the leader guides the decision making process, by ethical means, in order to provide the maximum for the maximum, set forth by the Act.
The actions taken by a leader using utilitarianism can be summed up by the following steps:
Detect the several ways of actions / options available
Find the number of individuals / institutions affected by the actions enumerated above and analyze the resultant pluses or negatives by each action.
Pick out the action that will yield the maximum benefits & the minimum loses or damages (to the society as a whole)
A Leaders efficiency on a course of ethical decision-making approach can be analyzed by the consequences of:
What benefits or losses the decided action yields, and what alternatives have been opted out (and what benefits or losses it would have led to)?
How much the selected action treats the affected people (same or unequal)?
How the course of action advances the common good?
What will be future actions / plans set?
