What would a deontological thinker add to the claim that all Americans have a fundamental right to healthcare, if it were true?

In deontology, moral rules and duties are more important than the consequences. In this form of thinking, the consequences of certain actions are not important, and this is because philosophy considers the inherent right or wrong of the actions.

Adhering to moral duties and rules is more important than the situation, consequences, or outcomes.

Deontology contrasts consequentialism, where it determines the morality of a situation or action based on whether or not it conforms to moral duty or rule.

Deontology, therefore, puts a strong emphasis on the need to fulfill moral duties and follow moral rules regardless of the outcome of the consequences

The theory also holds that human dignity is important and must be respected because humans inherently have moral values.

Based on the case, a deontological thinker would explore people’s basic human rights when it comes to accessing healthcare. This access is rooted in human dignity that is rooted in them.

Because human beings have moral values inherent in the healthcare provision to all people ought to be an obligation regardless of the outcomes or consequences of providing it to them.

Access to healthcare is, therefore, something that is owed to all people because of the simple fact that they are human beings and have within them human dignity.
