Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Those who are homeless have even fewer resources than poor people who have adequate housing. Homeless and marginally housed people must struggle with heavy demands as they try to man-age daily life because their resources are limited. These individuals must cope with finding a place to sleep at night and a place to stay during the day or moving frequently from one resi-dence to another, as well as finding food, before even thinking about health care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The ACA of 2010 provides the opportunity for all to purchase health insurance. The Balanced Budget Act shifted payment in home health care. The HIPAA was intended to help people keep their health insurance when moving from one place to another. The Social Security Act created the largest federal support program for elderly and poor Americans.
