(b) AS curve left, output down and price level up.

(c) AD curve right, output and price level up.

(d) AD curve right, output and price level up (any real improvements in health care resulting from the spending would eventually increase productivity and shift AS right).

(e) AD curve right, output and price level up.

(f) AS curve right, output up and price level down.

(g) AD curve right, output and price level up.

(h) AS curve right, output up and price level down.
