Answer to Question 1

D
Care provided under capitated costs are the major way in which health care is paid for by third parties and is a direct result of the diagnostic-related groups, which were the cost agreements negotiated under Medicare rules.
Genetic privacy is an issue, resulting in the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, but this is not a major trend influenced by Medicare.
Inclusion of women and children into research studies has been a topic of national prominence lately, but it has not been influenced by Medicare regulations.
Medicare regulations have not required prescriptions to be purchased in foreign countries.

Health care insurers are not permitted to adjust premiums based on genetic information.
Health care insurers are not required to provide payment for genetic testing.
