Liam has purchased a fee-for-service health insurance plan from leroux health insurance. plan a includes a $248.00 monthly premium and an annual deductible of $5,500.00 (not including co-pays).

liam is a fairly healthy young man. he visits his primary care physician three times a year on scheduled visits. he sees a chiropractic specialist every week to with lower back pain. he has no current prescriptions that need refilling regularly.

assuming liam maintains his regular visits with his primary care physician and his chiropractor, and avoids any trips to the emergency room or urgent care, how much will liam pay in health care related fees this year?
