Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Government regulates conditions that individuals cannot control and provides individual protection through a population-wide focus. These tasks are accomplished through passage and enforcement of laws. These laws control individuals' behaviors, which may lead to the establishment of social mores and common sense related to the laws that have been established.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
MCOs may deny reimbursement to health care providers who exceed the expected costs. Therefore, at least on the first occasion, the most probable result would be that the provider gets the listed payment, not what the provider charged.
