Demand for medical services is price inelastic (Absolute value of price elasticity of demand is less than 1 and greater than zero). Medical services are different from most other goods and services in that the person who determines the demand (the patient) is not the person who makes the payment (payment is made by the insurance company). How does this affect the price elasticity of demand for medical services (increase it or decrease it)? You may assume that this question only refers to people who have health insurance.
