Moral hazard relates to the behavior that enlarges the possibility of occurrence of undesired events that is insured. In health care the example could be a person that does risky jobs without wearing safety equipment. That is something that can easily lead to that person's deterioration of health at job. In car insurance, that can be reckless drive of an insured. Adverse selection happens when for instance signee of policy insurance withholds certain information, whose revelation would have potential elevating effect on paid premiums. In healthcare it could be non-disclosure of the information that the insured is a smoker, where in the application says otherwise. In car insurance it could be withhold of the information that the insured lives in the neighborhood with high crime level, while in the policy it is stated otherwise.
