Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, attempts to overcome the problem of too many people who do not have health insurance. It seeks to make quality, affordable, private health-insurance plans available for those currently uninsured and to stop insurance companies from denying coverage of pre-existing conditions, This act created a Health Insurance Market in which subsidized health insurance is provided. On the supply-side of the market are private healthcare insurance companies. On the demand-side are individuals. Many of the consumers qualify for subsidies which lower the cost to them of the healthcare insurance. By reducing the price, the act increases the number of people with healthcare insurance.
