Health insurance choices may lead to unexpected spending increases, study finds.
The article explores how people may choose health insurance based on how they think it will affect their behavior. This can impact efforts to reduce costs or risks. The researchers used data from a company to study how people's choices and actions related to health insurance. They found that people who choose more coverage tend to use more medical services. This means that not considering this behavior when designing insurance plans could lead to overestimating cost savings.
