Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Although the health care reform legislation of 2010 should significantly reduce the number of uninsured individuals, it is estimated that following full implementation in 2017, there will still be about 13 million people without any health care coverage and many with inadequate coverage. Thus, universal health coverage remains an important question. Considering there will still be a large number of underinsured and uninsured citizens, the consideration of an inadequate number of providers or clinics may not be an issue if citizens are unable to access care. The lack of health insurance is a greater concern at this time than the increase of infections among Americans.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The law decreased the number of people on welfare and forced many individuals to take low-paying jobs, many of which did not offer health insurance. Many individuals, particularly women and children, subsequently lost Medicaid coverage.
