When one of us visits our doctor, or has a medical procedure done - with supply and demand what do we base our purchase on- the actual cost or what is our co-pay? The price and demand to the recipient of health care is what comes out of their pocket at the time of purchase. The health insurance company provider is what is called a "third party payer".

Discuss what if there was not a third party payer. A patient was billed for the full medical service then sent the bill to the insurance company for reimbursement .
