A Question

A Question

Consider two healthcare systems.

In country 1, people are covered by a single-payer system system. All pay a dedicated contribution that, for most, is deducted from their pay packet. The single insurer is a public entity. It allows for legal directly-procured abortions permitted under the law to be covered.

In country 2, people are covered by three large private health insurers. All pay a premium that, for most, is deducted from their pay packet. There is no government involvement in health insurance. All three private insurers cover directly-procured abortions as permitted under the law.

The question: is the provision of health insurance for directly-procured abortion more morally grave in country 1 than country 2? If so, why?
