[A] For this question, assume that the market for family physicians is perfectly competitive. To reduce the shortages of family physicians in rural Saskatchewan, the Ministry of Health increased the supply of physicians such as by hiring more internationally trained graduates. Despite this initiative, rural Saskatchewan still faces shortages of family physicians. 1. Why would that be the case? Draw the graph below to help explain your answer. 2. How would this impact the total health expenditure for family physicians? 3. What are the implications for policymakers in this situation? B] Suppose that provincial governments filed civil lawsuits against tobacco manufacturers seeking to recover the increased costs of operating programs that can be attributed to smoking.

2. In the following graph, suppose market is in equilibrium at point A. Determine if you agree or disagree with the statements. a. Suppose there is an increasing in demand for health care services but no changes in supply, then the new equilibrium will be at point C. b. From equilibrium point A, if there exist an increase in supply of the doctors in the area, the new equilibrium would be at point B. c. From equilibrium point A, if there is an induced demand from the increased number of doctors in the area, the new equilibrium would be at point C. d. If the demand curve is D', one can not say that there is an induced demand with the increase of physicians in the area. Q₂ Q₁ Quantity of Services Delivered Price per Unit Output
