Supply is defined as the availability of an item, while demand is the want or need to have that item.
In health care, uncertainty effects both demand and supply. There is a irregular demand for health care because of an uncertainty of health status, need for care or due to the effectiveness of outcomes. In view to supply- people are unaware of the innovation coming, the quality of treatment, effectiveness of treatment. Uncertainty of demand effects the supply and cannot build inventory. Insurance weakens the price which increases the demand for medical care. Patients do not have to pay the full cost. This is a moral hazard since it causes people to behave differently with insurance than without it. Patients increases the number of the claims and doctors increase the size of the claims.
The main function of health insurance is to protect the people from uncertainty and risks. One distinct problem for market-oriented solutions to health insurance is that, when consumers are offered a choice of health insurance options, the healthy consumers may sort themselves into certain plans and the more risky consumers into others. Consequently, some plans will allure a disproportionate share of less costly low risk consumers, while others with more costly health insurance plans.

"Health insurance affects both consumer and producer decisions: mainly lower income and uninsured persons may show more interest to wards health care insurance than the high income and insured persons or consumers". I need explaination of that statment with references please
Health insurance affects the demand and supply of medical care "please answer all parts neat and organized" (a.) Draw a diagram to show the equilibrium in the market for medical care. Label all the curves and the axes carefully. (b.) in the diagram of a, show the effect of decrease in the percentage of co- insurance (e.g., 50% to 10%) on the medical service demand curve. (c.) Show the effect of the change in (b) on the equilibrium price and...
6. Demand, Supply, consumer surplus and Market Equilibrium. The following relations describe monthly demand and supply conditions in the metropolitan area for recyclable aluminum QD = 317,500 - 10,000P (Demand) Qs = -2,500 + 10,000P (Supply) where Q is quantity measured in pounds of scrap aluminum and P is price in dollars. Complete the following table: A Calculate the market equilibrium price and output? B. What is the inverse demand curve P = f(QD)? C. Compute the consumer surplus at...
2. Describe market equilibrium in terms of the following characteristics d. How supply and demand interactions should result in market equilibrium, when the price is below equilibrium. (For this item, I suggest starting at a price and quantity that is not equilibrium, then describing how the market will move towards equilibrium) e. Producer surplus and how it changes as the market price approaches equilibrium from a price below equilibrium. f. Consumer surplus and how it changes as the market price...
Suppose Q D = 200 – 4P and Q S = 100 describe market demand and market supply in a given market. Find the equilibrium price and quantity for this market. Graph both supply and demand for this market. Compute the consumer and producer surplus for this market. Give an example of a good in the real world that might be described by this graph
Describe an example of speculation in a market explain how speculation affects market prices. Use a supply and demand diagram as part of your explanation
Identify in each of the situations who is affected (demand / supply) and how it affects (increases / decreases) : We have Identified in each of the situations who is affected (demand / supply) and how it affects (increases / decreases) : please illustrate in a graph how each situations are effected. So we are able to see it's visually the outcome. 3) FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF A NEW GAS DRINK, 35 NEW PRODUCERS HAVE ENTERED THE MARKET. Offer Increase...
Consider a market with demand and supply functions: Supply function: ? = 40? − 40 Demand function: ? = 200 − 20? a. Draw the demand-supply curves. Find equilibrium price and quantity. Find consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus in the graph. b. Calculate exact size of consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus, respectively. Welfare effects of a price control. The government sets a price floor at $5. c. Find the market price and quantity traded, and the...
