I guess it comes down to opinion then. I think that it's perfectly appropriate to put equal emphasis on distribution as any other practical factor. I think it's fair. Distribution of health care is a very real problem here. A recent study found that those without health insurance were 40% more likely to die prematurely than those with health insurance. And with 35 million+ people without health insurance, that's a lot of people in a very dangerous situation.
