- Fun with cost-sharing. An important distinction in health insurance is between the list price (PL) and out-of-pocket price (PP) of a medical good or service. The list price is the official price that the provider charges the insurance company, while the out-of-pocket price is the price that the insurance customer faces. Sometimes, the out-of-pocket price depends on the list price. Draw a set of axes with list price PL on the y-axis and quantity Q on the x-axis (you will want to make your graph nice and big, because we will be adding several demand curves). Suppose a consumer’s demand for a particular medical procedure is as follows: Q = 100 - PP. Draw her demand curve in PL - Q space under the assumption of no insurance and label it D1. You will have to think about the relationship between PL and PP to draw it correctly. Now assume the same consumer is fully insured. Think about how this affects the relationship between PL and PP and draw a full-insurance demand curve in PL - Q…arrow_forwardWhat percentage of its GDP does the United States spend on health care?a. 5 percentb. 13 percentc. 16 percentd. 22 percente. 25 percentarrow_forwardExplain the purpose of insurance.
