Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The typical uninsured person is one who works at a low-paying job, part-time or temporary, or at a small business. The elderly person would be eligible for Medicare, and the 2-year-old is proba-bly eligible for Medicaid. The man who works at the large corporation probably has health insur-ance, since most large businesses provide it.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Cost-benefit analysis involves the listing of all costs and benefits that are expected to occur from an intervention during a prescribed time. Cost-effectiveness analysis expresses the net direct and indirect costs and cost savings in terms of a defined health outcome. Supply and demand is in force when few goods or services are available, and then the price tends to rise. Microeconomic theory is examining the behaviors of individuals and organizations that result from trade-offs in utility and budget constraints of health care.
