Some insurance policies have deductibles. A deductible is an amount of a claim not covered by nsurance. It's a fixed portion of the medical bills that the insured person must pay in order to make a claim to their insurer. Suppose Rosa's insurance company provides two plans. Plan A has zero deductibles (good!) but charges a high premium (bad!). Specifically, Plan A charges $591 for full coverage. Plan B has a deductible of $197, but charges a premium of just $199. Will Rosa purchase insurance and, if so, which plan?
