Ralph has a demand curve for office visits (Qd) to the doctor in a year given by Qd = 20 – (P/10) where P is the price of an office visit for Ralph.
Draw this demand curve with the usual Price/Quantity axes and label the intercepts on each axis. What is the most that Ralph would pay for one doctor visit?
How many doctor visits would Ralph make if they cost $50? What price would result in Ralph seeing the doctor 10 times in a year?
If the list price of an office visit is $50 and Ralph purchases health insurance in which he has a coinsurance rate of 20% (so Ralph pays only $10 for each visit), how many additional office visits at a list price of $50 does Ralph make relative to when he did not have insurance?
If the marginal cost to the doctor for providing each visit is $50, what is the value of the moral hazard cost (hint: area of a triangle) resulting from Ralph buying this insurance?

Moral Hazard Before we leave the subject of the impact of insurance on the demand for medical care, we need to introduce the concept of moral hazard. Moral hazard refers to the situation in which consumers alter their behavior when provided with health insurance. For example, health insurance may induce consumers to take fewer precautions to prevent illnesses or to shop very little for the best medical prices. In addition, insured consumers may purchase more medical care than they otherwise...
