Answer to Question 1

D
The United States is one of only a few large countries without a universal system of health care for its people. Health care in the United States is much less organized and more expensive than in other countries. This health care is considered more expensive, given the total health care expenditure as a percentage of the gross domestic product (GDP), than is the case in countries such as Germany, Canada, or Great Britain that have a universal health care system.

Answer to Question 2

C
The three components of health care systems are: 1) structure (resources or structures required to deliver health care), 2) process (quality activities, procedures, and tasks performed to deliver quality health care), and 3) outcome (the results of good health care delivery).
