Answer:
$6,000
Explanation:
A deductible is the amount Conor has to pay before his medical bills and prescriptions start getting coverage from his insurance.
Step 1: 10,000 - 2,000 = 8,000
A co-pay is a fixed amount the insured has to pay for certain medical services.
Step 2: 20% of 8,000 or 0.20 times 8,000 = 1,600
Step 3: add $2,000 (the deductible you have to pay) and $1,600 (the co-pay)
Total amount that Conor will have to pay for the hospital: $3,600

In economics, savings equals investment. Higher investments result in higher productivity, that is why the savings rate of a country is the single most important factor in determining future economic growth.
Low savings rate means that current consumption is very large, and that benefits economic growth on the short run (very short run, like 1 or 2 years), but future economic growth will suffer from it.
Imagine your house as the total economy of a nation. You earn $1,000 per month and must decide how much to spend right now and how much to save for future spending. If you spend the $1,000 right now, you will purchase several things and enjoy them immediately. But what happens in one or two weeks. Since you do not have any more money left, you cannot purchase anything else, which reduces your future joy.
Investment increases future wealth and fosters economic prosperity.
