The Ethics of Managed Care and Global Healthcare Disparities
This chapter explores the global impact of the managed care model, originating in the U.S., and its effects on healthcare systems in countries like those in Latin America. It critically assesses how this model, driven by economic interests and privatization, has led to ethical dilemmas for marginalized populations, particularly trans individuals. Additionally, it highlights the socioeconomic hardships facing trans women in the context of transitioning and advocates for a more inclusive healthcare approach beyond current constraints.
