Abstract

The article focuses on equality. Bernard Williams asserted in his paper titled "The Idea of Equality" that distribution based on needs is a key in the theory of equality and claimed that the proper ground of delivering health care is health need. But Robert Nozick argued that if such claim is true then the proper ground of the distribution of barbering care is barbering need.
