Answer to Question 1

4
Chronic illness is not a barrier to care; lack of insurance, being poor, and lack of access to care are barriers.

Answer to Question 2

4
The typical uninsured person is one who works at a low-paying job, part-time or temporary, or at a small business. The elderly person would be eligible for Medicare, and the 2-year-old is proba-bly eligible for Medicaid. The man who works at the large corporation probably has health in-surance, since most large businesses provide it.
