Abstract: | It is widely recognized that prioritizing health care resources by their relative cost-effectiveness can result in lower priority for the treatment of disabled persons (here as: d-p.) than otherwise similar non-disabled people. Six different ways are found in which the discrimination against the d-p. can occur. Moral objections to this discrimination are spelled out and evaluated. |
