Question 3: Consistent with Figure 12.1, assume that the FFS price was $100 per visit and the average patient made eight visits per year.

(b) Graph the FFS and the managed care market equilibria as was done in Figure 12.1. What do our findings suggest about demand for managed care compared to demand for FFS care?
