Drew Westen, in "The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation," argues that when advocates of health-care reform talk about universal health care as a way to help "the uninsured" or "the underinsured," they turn many people against universal health care because there is an underlying assumption that poor people are getting what they deserve. What do sociologists call this assumption?

The sociologists call this JUST WORLD HYPOTHESIS

Explanation:

The JUST WORLD HYPOTHESIS or just world fallacy is the cognitive bias or assumption that a person's actions are inherently inclined to bring morally fair and fitting consequences to that person, to the end of all noble actions being eventually rewarded and all evil actions eventually punished .

This explains the illustration of the The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation," which argues that when advocates of health care reform talk about universal health care as a way to help "the uninsured" or "the underinsured," they turn many people against universal health care because there is an underlying assumption that poor people are getting what they deserve.

i think it is the third one.
