It is important for nurses and other health professionals to consider how the implementation of the PPACA relates to their role in understanding and trying to rectify conditions of injustice in health care. Changes in social attitudes and resources may require the combined efforts of different disciplines to identify the originating problem and find a way to remediate it. A theory of social justice put forward by Powers and Faden emphasizes the need to focus on well being and its essential aspects as a social justice issue so that we can become closer to realizing the true nature of unfairness (Grace & Willis, 2012). Since nurses provide a service related to health and well-being, they have a responsibility to address factors that work against individual well-being and societal health (Grace & Willis, 2012). Through our practice, education, and interactions with diverse segments of society, we can gain a unique perspective of what constitutes injustice in health care and which individuals and groups are especially disadvantaged. Through understanding how certain human contexts and conditions erect and maintain barriers to the improvement of well-being, nurses and other health professionals can make important differences in helping to provide the human good of health to both individuals and societies.
