    Depends on the perspective. The “socialized” (please use in quotation marks) perspective is that users of shape care are the community as a whole; thus, ‘just’ is defined as minimizing the losing individuals. “Free market’s” views are that the users are individuals or groups of individuals; thus, ‘just’ is defined as maximizing the number of individuals ‘satisfied.’
    From both common political and ethical perspective, a child is often unable to contribute to the discussion of ‘individuals to be lost’ in “socialized shape care” or ‘user satisfaction’ in the “free market.” Given the assumptions that pediatric care is satisfactory for most children, “socialized shape care” is more just because the intrinsic cost-of-life-saved would then be higher even though some children would fall through the cracks. HOWEVER, given the assumption above and also that the income difference between the richest and poorest people is minimal, the “free market” is more just because parents can choose what is most ‘satisfactory’ without too much undue financial burden.

    Ability to pay especially since if push comes to shove and you get rushed to the ER you will get taken care of but the bureaucrat won’t give a darn about it- you’re just a number
