Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The Great Plains region, in the heart of the country, has a greater portion of the population older than 65 years. That means more people on Medicare and fewer people in the workforce, among other things. If we look at life expectancy, which is a very crude measure of health status to be sure, we find certain regions of the country much worse off than others, most notably, the southeastern black belt, the Mississippi delta, and Indian country.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
When the National Center for Health Statistics published a study comparing urban and rural populations on population health indicators such as smoking, obesity, chronic disease, substance abuse, suicide, and child health, rural populations were found to be less healthy on nearly all indicators. A first response to that study by rural health advocates was to cite these disparities as evidence that more services were needed in rural areas.
