Publicly provided health insurance for the poor will

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Publicly provided health insurance for the poor will raise the level of health care consumed by the poor, as they will have access to medical services that they may have previously been unable to afford. It is unlikely to lower the price of health care for the nonpoor, and it may actually increase the total amount of health care consumed, as the newly insured may seek out preventative care and other services they previously could not afford.
