Question 12 • Personal Finance

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

Answer

The government spends a lot of money on healthcare programs for people ages 65 and older, people with disabilities, and people living in poverty.

The government spends very little money on health care so Americans must all pay their own healthcare costs out of pocket.

The government covers medical and healthcare costs for all Americans so that everyone can get the same level of care.

The government follows voters’ wishes to decide how much money is spent per person on healthcare programs and medical treatment.

Explanation

The federal government plays a major role in health care by funding programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and disability-related coverage. These programs support people 65 and older, people with disabilities, and people with low incomes. The government does not cover all medical costs for every American, so choice C is too broad, and many people also have insurance or pay some costs themselves.
