Question

Consider the market for 7-eleven slurpees. In a market economy only those consumers who are willing and able to pay for Slurpees get Slurpees, is this fair? What about the market for health care?

Answer 1

Answer:

When we take Slurpees, these are labelled under luxury. This is not the basic need of any human being to drink Slurpees in order to quench his or her thirst. This can't be categorized as a basic, primary or biological need. Water is considered very for for this purpose and we even can't survive biologically without water, whereas, we can very happily without Slurpees. More specifically, we can live definite more happy and healthy without drinking these carbonated drinks which are not good for any human's health, and this facts have been proven by medical science in much finer details. These drinks, sometimes, can kill humans as well, damaging their stomach directly. If this was the basic need, then organizations might have offered it instead of giving employees salary and monetary rewards.
