9. Medicaid is known to have lower payments to providers than private insur- ance. Suppose there are two patients: one has private insurance, while the other one has Medicaid. Suppose both

patients have full insurance coverage and no cost sharing. Why might the lower payment associated with Medicaid negatively affect the patient with Medicaid, even though the patient is not liable for any medical costs?
