Solution) Suppose that an individual’s demand for the number of physician visits per year, Q, can be represent


Question: Suppose that an individual’s demand for the number of physician visits per year, Q, can be represented by the following equation: Q = 5 – 0.04P, where P, the market price of an office visit, equals the marginal cost of $100. Determine the efficient number of office visits according to conventional theory. Now assume that the person purchases complete health insurance coverage and the demand for (but not quantity demanded of) physician care remains unchanged. How many times would this fully insured person visit the physician? Calculate the welfare loss of moral hazard cost associated with this insurance coverage. Note: Conventional theory leads to an illustration similar to Figure 8-4B. Notice P is on the vertical axis and Q is on the horizontal axis.
