Question 66 • EA Academy Algebra I

Which best describes the role of the US government in economic decisions involving health care?

Answer
A
The government covers medical and healthcare costs for all Americans so that everyone can get the same level of care.
B
The government spends very little money on health care so Americans must all pay their own healthcare costs out of pocket.
C
The government follows voters’ wishes to decide how much money is spent per person on healthcare programs and medical treatment.
D
The government spends a lot of money on healthcare programs for people ages 65 and older, people with disabilities, and people living in poverty.

Explanation

The U.S. government plays a major role in health care through programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare mainly serves people 65 and older and some people with disabilities; Medicaid helps people with limited incomes, including many people living in poverty. The government does not cover all medical costs for every American, so choice D best describes its role.
