The correct answer is the bystander effect. 

The bystander effect refers to a phenomenon in which people refrain from intervening or helping victims in need when other witnesses are present. The larger number of bystanders or witnesses present, the less likely it is that someone will intervene and help the victim. The bystander effect occurs due to diffusion of responsibility. This means that individuals do not help victims because they see other bystanders are equally responsible for helping the victim.

In the mid-1990s, HMOs (Health Maintenance Organization) were effective at keeping down the costs of the insurance fee but the overall quality of the health services provided declined deeply, as the coverage for many necessary procedures were denied.
