Answer to Question 1

Medical insurance companies often do not pay the entire medical cost incurred by their customers. This is because if the insurers do not have to pay the entire amount of medical cost incurred by them, the customers are more likely to take better care of themselves because they have to bear a part of the medical cost in case of an illness.

Answer to Question 2

B
