Abstract: Abstract The coronavirus pandemic highlighted the essential shared other-interest in public health. Also, the pre-existing conditions debate, too, points to the reality of a universal shared other-interest in dealing with same. Everyone has said conditions: everyone dies. Metaeconomics adds new insights on how to think about balancing the primal self-interest in only one’s own health with the essential need to balance it with the shared other-interest in universally better health for everyone. The Dual Interest Theory clarifies that it is about maximizing the Own-interest in delaying the time until death, possible only by sacrificing a bit in both domains of dual interest. Pragmatically speaking, it leads to suggesting an integrated effort represented in private and public health efforts, including Market and Government provision of both insurance and health care.
