Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. People living in poverty run a higher risk of having poorer overall health status because they may lack the medical care, nutritional intake, and other factors that contribute to better health.

3. Medicaid assistance helps people in dire need receive health care.
4. Funding for public health has not increased as a result of statistics indicating people living in poverty.
