[SydPhil] Susan Pennings title and a abstract.

As promised the title and abstract for this Wednesday’s talk from Susan Pemmings 

Title: Administrative burdens and access to health care
 
Abstract: Administrative burdens are non-monetary "costs" that people may experience when trying to access services or benefits. This talk will explain how the concept of administrative burdens can be applied to understand the barriers that people experience when attempting to access health care services. I will argue that administrative burdens are not spread evenly throughout a population, but systematically pose more difficulties for disadvantaged population groups, impeding their access to health care and exacerbating other inequalities. I will also discuss some potential implications for distributive justice and public policy.
