Draw the demand curve in the market for medical care and upload your picture of your diagram, the horizontal axis should represent the number of medical procedures.)
Show the quantity of procedures demanded if each procedure has a price of $100.
On your diagram, show the quantity of procedures demanded if consumers pay only $20 per procedure. If the cost of each procedure to society is truly $100, and if individuals have health insurance as described above, will the number of procedures performed maximize total surplus? Explain.
Consider how health insurance affects the quantity of healthcare services performed. Suppose that the typical medical procedure has a cost of $100, yet a person with health insurance pays only $20 out of pocket. Her insurance company pays the remaining $80. (The insurance company recoups the $80 through premiums, but the premium a person pays does not depend on how many procedures that person chooses to undertake.)

health in several ways. The local government decides to subsidize pizza
consumption by paying $2 of every pizza sold(essentially a negative tax
of $2). How much will the government spend with the subsidy?

One side effect becoming apparent is Sandy's influence on the used car market. According to the Detroit Free Press, the destruction of some 250,000 vehicles has led to a shortage that could affect late-model used vehicle prices nationwide. The National Auto Dealers Association estimates that prices could increase 0.5% to 1.5%. That may not seem like much (550-S175 per vehicle), but Edmunds.com suggests that in the short term, prices could jump $700 to $1.000.

- Read this article, paying particular attention to the first 3 paragraphs. The following excerpt describes some of the changes that have occurred in the used car market. The market is the Used Car Market. “With production of many new-vehicle lines being slowed or halted by the current microchip shortage, a lack of supply has sent more U.S. consumers (even rental companies) to the used-car market. In turn, the upsurge in demand along with a short supply of product to sell (fewer new models sold means fewer trade-ins winding up on used-vehicle lots) has caused prices to skyrocket literally across the board.” First, “With production of many new-vehicle lines being slowed or halted by the current microchip shortage, a lack of supply has sent more U.S. consumers (even rental companies) to the used-car market.” Is this a demand or supply issue for used cars?
