Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
It is important to review several key components of the function public health serves through key initiatives, including a national consensus on goals, provision of systems of health insurance based on risk, not necessarily health, and the role of nongovernmental disease prevention and health promotion. In the United States, public healthcare includes disease prevention and health promotion based on science and cultural relevance. It is not focused on the health of the individual person but of the larger population. The goal of public healthcare is to keep populations healthy through a larger reach than connection at the individual level.
