The following graph shows the market for doctor's office visits. In this market, the central government provides health insurance to all consumers. The government insurance plan stipulates a copayment of $20 per doctor's office visit. That is, consumers pay $20 for each doctor's appointment, and the government pays the remainder.
In the absence of the copayment plan, the equilibrium price would be ____
per doctor's office visit, and the equilibrium quantity would be _____
million visits per month.
Under the copayment plan, the quantity of visits demanded by consumers is ______
million visits per month. Doctors are willing to supply this number of office visits at a price of ______
per visit. Therefore, the government will pay ______ per visit under the copayment scheme.
In the absence of the copayment plan, total payments for visits to the doctor amount to ______ million per month.
Under the copayment plan, total payments for visits to the doctor amount to _________…
Market researchers have studied the market for milk and their estimates for the supply of and the demand for milk per month are as follows
a. Using the data, graph the demand for and the supply of milk. Identify the equilibrium point as E, and use dotted lines to connect E to the equilibrium price on the price axis and the equilibrium quantity on the quantity axis.
b. Suppose the government enacts a milk price support of $8 per gallon. Indicate this action on your graph, and explain the effect on the milk market. Why would the government establish such price support?
c. Now assume the government decides to set a price ceiling of $4 per gallon. Show and explain how this legal price affects your graph of the milk market. What objective could the government be trying to achieve by establishing such a price ceiling?
In the early 2000s the price of gasoline rose, causing the demand for hybrid cars to rise. As a result the price of hybrid cars rose. This made _____________ rise. Should the missing words be the supply or the quantity supplied?
