In 1992, the Occupational Safety and Health Authority passed the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (BBP), which regulates dental office procedures. This regulation is designed to minimize the transmission of infectious disease from patient to dental worker. The effect of this regulation was both to increase the cost of providing dental care and to ease the fear of going to the dentist as the risk of contracting an infectious disease. Refer to Scenario 2.2. What is the effect of the BBP on the equilibrium price of dental care? Question 10 options: A) It increases only if demand shifts more than supply. B) It increases only if supply shifts more than demand. C) It unambiguously increases. D) It unambiguously decreases.
