Answer to Question 2

Insurance and other contracts often contain provisions designed to reduce the attractiveness of morally hazardous behavior. To avoid defeating the purpose of insurance, these provisions attempt to raise the costs of making claims that the policyholder can control, while still allowing recovery for major uncontrollable incidents. Co-payment or coinsurance, deductibles, and non-price exceptions are some of the provisions used by insurers to control the problem of moral hazard.
