Answer to Question 1

b

a. Incorrect: Universal and comprehensive services are publicly funded and provide a full range of services for all citizens.
b. Correct: In entrepreneurial systems, individuals purchase health insurance or work for employers that purchase such insurance for employees under private insurance schemes, and most health care is paid for in this way. Such systems often feature a mix of publicly funded services for the poor and/or elderly, with most services being provided and paid for privately.
c. Incorrect: Socialistic and centrally planned services are ones that are available to all citizens and are designed and delivered by government-funded organizations.
d. Incorrect: In welfare-oriented health systems (such as Canada's), governments take on the role of funding only a portion of services, such as hospitals and physicians, but not a full range of health care services.
