One of the major assumptions in an efficient marketplace is that people have equal information concerning an item that they wish to purchase. We wish to know the quality of an item before buying it and certainly the price we will pay. Hidden factors such as annual license fees or hidden taxes not stated in the advertisement give one party an advantage over the other. For example, when you sign up for cable TV, the price quoted does not often include a near doubling of the final cost due to taxes and fees added after the sale. In healthcare, such items as quality of an implant and expected life are not something that the average patient is aware of, and he or she is then unaware that the price may differ on the basis of these factors. Stainless steel hip joints may be less expensive than titanium ones but may not last as long, for example. Information asymmetry is common in healthcare as you, as a patient, are perhaps dealing with someone with decades of training in a field you are not knowledgeable about. This may make the market assumption invalid.
Tasks:

Discuss whether that information is available.

Most people are more concerned by fairness than an elusive view of efficiency. The traditional economic model does not delve into equity but, rather, into how people come into their wealth originally. Distribution of wealth in the traditional model is assumed to come from trading goods and services. The following assumptions are the basis of this distribution concept in the traditional model: assumption 5 (social welfare is based on individual utility) and assumption 14 (the distribution of wealth is approved by society).
Rawls differed from the utilitarian view by suggesting that rational people would choose their own utilities based on the original position of all people. The chief critic of Rawls was a Harvard professor named Nozick, who proposed that the view of Rawls must be enforced by the government in the form of laws enforcing voluntary exchange.
A discussion of these theories helps ground one in the role of the government in economics.
Tasks:
Describe the original position of Rawls’s theory of justice.
Briefly describe the libertarian theory by Nozick.
Contrast Rawls’s theory of justice with Nozick’s libertarian theory with regard to the just role of the government.
