Suppose that the u.s. government doubles its spending on health care. the _____ curve shifts _____, output _____, and prices ___
denpristay [2]

The <u>aggregate demand</u> curve shifts <u>right</u>, output <u>increases</u>, and prices <u>increase</u> when the U.S. government doubles its spending on health care.

Aggregate demand or AD refers to the total demand for all individual goods and services.

The aggregate demand and supply for an economy can be depicted by a schedule, a curve, or even an algebraic equation. Just like the demand and supply for individual goods and services.

The total quantity of all goods and services that the economy demands at various price levels is illustrated by the aggregate demand curve.

Therefore, if the U.S. government doubles its health care spending, the aggregate demand curve shifts right, output rises, and prices rise.

Which type of coverage pays an amount per day for hospitalization directly to the insured regardless of the insured's other heal
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

hospital indemnity

A supplemental insurance policy called hospital indemnity coverage is created to cover expenses associated with hospital admittance that might not be reimbursed by other insurance. Workers who are admitted to a clinic or intensive care unit for a covered illness or injury are covered by the plan. Additionally, it is accessible to businesses with as little as two employees.

Since the majority of Americans don't have enough resources to pay for unforeseen medical costs, hospital indemnity coverage can be very useful.1 The plan provides cash directly to workers even if they don't have any out-of-pocket costs. The funds can be used for anything, including: medical copays, deductibles, and ongoing costs like rent, food, and utilities.
