We have read in this chapter that people with insurance may be more likely to engage in risky behavior because they are insured. Does it make sense then that there should be an "insurance tax" on people that engage in these types of activities?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary, but in general, this is not a good idea. The essence of this idea is to raise
the price of an insurance premium, which might discourage some from engaging in riskier
activities.
