Essay

Consider Troy and Paula, each of whom recently purchased health insurance with a 20% coinsurance rate (i.e., an insured person pays 20% of the price of a physician visit). Troy's demand curve for physician visits is QR = 6, and Paula's demand curve for physician visits is QP = 20 - 0.10P, where Q represents the number of physician visits and P is the price per visit. Suppose that the market price, P, for physician visits is $100.

Suppose that the market price, P, for physician visits is $100.
