Philosophy Phriday Question: Do you think someone like W.D. Ross is right that morality involves a variety of duties/norms that can sometimes conflict with one another, or do you agree more with someone like Immanuel Kant that morality is a more formulaic system with norms and rules that never come into conflict?

Why Healthcare Is in a Death Spiral: Follow the Money

⋅

If each of these is not a part of any ‘reform,’ than all that is being done is pouring money into a monopolizing cartel, just in a slightly different way.
