Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Tremendous disparities for access exist between insured and uninsured people in the United States. Access to care is associated with economic, social, and political factors, and depending on individual and population needs, it can be a primary determinant of health status and survival. Structural variables such as race-ethnicity, educational status, gender, and income are highly predictive of health status.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Improvements can only be made if societal and personal values are made explicit. Once these values are recognized, they are more easily confronted. Change may be sought toward a more just society.
