The correct answer is:

c) The insured individual must pay $6,500 in health care before the insurance company will begin to pay for his health care needs.

Explanation:

A deductible is an amount the insured person is expected to pay out of pocket before the insurance company begins paying anything. This is true for all types of insurance: health, auto, home, etc.

The insurance company will not pick up any of the costs until the customer pays the $6500.
