The auditor considers the choice of the plan to be extremely important. Consequently, the auditor has asked you to evaluate the three proposals listed below in terms of their propensity to result in adverse selection and/or moral hazard. Proposal 1 would charge a $400 premium with no deductible. Coverage is extended to preexisting conditions, but to cover the nondeductible clause, routine checkups are not covered. Proposal 2 charges a $200 premium with a $200 deductible. The plan does not cover preexisting conditions, but does cover routine office visits. Proposal 3 charges a $150 premium with a $150 deductible. This plan doesn't cover preexisting conditions or routine checkups. The collective bargaining agreement dictates that participation in the plan must be at the employee's option.
