Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In general, MSFW may have the poorest health of any aggregate in the United States and the least access to affordable health care. Thus, a location that serves this population would be most important.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Typically, people with disabilities could qualify for such benefits as health care, income assistance programs, and personal care attendant services only if they chose not to work. To address employment and benefit issues for persons with disabilities, in December 1999, the TWWIIA was signed into law. The TWWIIA reduced people with disabilities' disincentives to work by increasing access to vocational services and provided new methods for retaining health insurance after returning to work.
