Suppose people freely choose to spend 40 percent of their income
on health care, but the government decides to tax 40 percent of a
person’s income to provide the same level of coverage as before.
What can be said about deadweight loss in each case?
a. Taxing income results in deadweight loss,
while purchasing health care on one’s own does not result in
deadweight loss.
b. Taxing income results in less deadweight loss,
because government knows better what health care coverage is good
for society.
c. There is no difference because the goods are
purchased in the market in either case.
d. There is no difference because the total
spending remains the same and the health care purchased remains the
same.
