- Last year in a particular market area it is found that 1000 people have their vision checked each year. The average price of the exam is $50. This year for the first time insurance companies will pay for half the price of the exam, with the patient paying the other half. Demand for eye exams is inelastic, with an elasticity coefficient of 0.2 between a price of $25 and $50. How many people will now have their vision checked?

- The Tucker family has health insurance coverage that pays 80 percent of out-of-hospital expenses after a deductible of $1,000 per person. If one family member has doctor and prescription medication expenses of $2,200, what amount would the insurance company pay?arrow_forwardSome have argued that higher cigarette prices do not deter smoking. While there are many arguments both for and against this view, some find the following argument to be the most persuasive of all: “The laws of supply and demand indicate that higher prices are ineffective in reducing smoking. In particular, higher cigarette prices will reduce the demand for cigarettes. This reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price back down to its original level. Since the equilibrium price will remain unchanged, smokers will consume the same number of cigarettes.”Do you agree or disagree with this view? Disagree - the reduction in demand will push the equilibrium price below its original level. Disagree - this confuses a change in demand with a change in quantity demanded. Agree - the price increase will ultimately leave cigarette consumption unchanged. Disagree - higher cigarette prices will actually increase the demand for cigarettes.arrow_forwardSuppose that a health insurance plan offers a $10 deductible with a 20% coinsurance rate.

What is the consumption of both "A's" and "B's" without health insurance? b. What is the consumption of both "A's" and "B's" with health insurance? c.
