Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Health-related technologies often have the potential to improve patient outcomes but
they typically increase costs to healthcare institutions and, ultimately, to healthcare consumers.
They do not normally result in decreased costs in the longer term and their ability to directly
attract innovators to the healthcare industry has not been proven.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Medicaid provides funds for healthcare for those dependent on public assistance
and certain other low-income individuals. Qualification is not based on work history, health
status, or military service.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
