Suppose that Hubert, an economist from an AM talk radio program, and Kate, an economist from a school of industrial relations, are arguing over health insurance. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate: Kate: A popular topic for debate among politicians as well as economists is the idea of providing government assistance for health benefits. Hubert: I think it is oppressive for the government to tax people who take care of themselves in order to pay for health insurance for those who are obese. Kate: I disagree. I think government funding of health insurance is useful to ensure basic fairness.

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. Ignore co-payments and deductibles and any other out-of-pocket expenses. Please give an explanation.
