The most medically complex Medicare Advantage patients in cities with many competing health systems would be expected to have better health outcomes than the most medically complex Medicare Advantage patients in cities with fewer competing health systems. If patients receive more medical care in areas with greater medical care supply (holding medical care quality, access, and price constant) this would be consistent with the idea of demand inducement. You can ignore the possibility of new entry into the market in answering this question. We observe that hospitals that care for a larger number of patients with a given condition tend to have better outcomes for that condition. lGiven this, directing more patients to larger hospitals with better outcomes 'om hospitals with worse outcomes would be expected to benet the patients sent there, but might or might not benet the patients with that condition who would have gotten care there anyway
