Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When individuals have insurance, they are more likely to seek medical care as they do not have to worry about the high cost of medical services. This increase in demand for health care will lead to an increase in the utilization of health care services. However, individuals may be discouraged from seeking care if they have to pay a high deductible or co-pay. Therefore, the demand for health care will increase, but not as much if deductibles and co-pays are used. Hence, option B is the correct choice.
