Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Most consider rationing to be a planned, thoughtful approach to a limited supply.
This does not involve mandatory insurance or restricting care to those who can afford it.
Individual preferences should be considered, but the philosophy of rationing does not require
consumers to prioritize their own use of resources.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Bioethical issues have always been present, but their importance has grown
alongside changes in technology. The phenomena of increased health literacy, chronic diseases,
and politics are not among the primary factors that have increased the visibility of bioethics.
