Expert Solution
Step 1

Here looking the graph, it can be seen the equilibrium without the insurance is at the intersection of the demand and supply curve at equilibrium quantity of care as 100 with price as $90.

With being insured, the equilibrium shifted from the previous point because of the shift in the demand curve which changes the equilibrium point of the quantity of care as 120 and price being $100

 

Step 2

It can be seen that because of the insurance, the total health care expenditures have been increased from $9000 of the initial equilibrium as $90×100=$9000 to $12000 of the new equilibrium as $120×100=$12000.
