Answer to Question 1

F
The economic environment may influence health-seeking behavior.

In addition, it is more likely that women and children of low socioeco-nomic status will not be insured.

Answer to Question 2

T
Everyone exists within an environment, the surroundings or conditions that exert an influence on, and affect the health of, a person.
