increase in demand for medical services‚ how will different supply elasticities affect total medical expenditures? An increase in demand will affect prices and quantity of services differently because it depends on the elasticity of supply. When supply is relatively elastic‚ increase in demand will be accompanied by a price increase‚ but it would be much less if supply were inelastic. Under elastic supply conditions‚ a much greater increase in services provided will occur. When supply is relatively
