I just logged on to post the exact same paper. To anyone who doesn't want to download the pdf linked above: it's Kenneth Arrow's economics paper "Uncertainty and the Welfare Economics of Medical Care."

But an argument comparing health care to fried chicken without taking Arrow's work into account is a worthless argument.
