Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cost-push inflation in the healthcare sector is driven by factors that increase the costs of providing healthcare services, which then leads to higher prices for those services. Choices A, B, and C (medical practitioners' risk of exposure to deadly diseases, rising prices for medical resources, and medical malpractice suits) all directly contribute to increasing the cost of providing healthcare. However, the presence of third-party payers (D) does not directly increase the cost of healthcare services; instead, it affects the demand side by potentially insulating consumers from the direct costs of care, which can lead to higher demand and prices but is not a cost-push factor.
