There is a terrific chapter in Michael Walzer's book, Spheres of Justice, in which he makes somewhat the same argument from a different point of view. That the internal logic of the social sector of health care should respond to a different logic than that of the market. Markets are fine for the economic sector; just not for the health care sector.

He might have published that as an article somewhere. If I find a bit of time later tonight, I'll do some searches.

How would adverse selection and moral hazard be reduced in a government run health insurance program? Both of those problems are inherent in any insurance policy.

..adverse selection and moral hazard are so central to the enterprise that nobody, nobody expects free-market principles to be enough.
