Answer to Question 1

D
State-administered High Risk Pool plans are for patients previously refused insurance due to
preexisting health conditions; they provide affordable health care insurance for 45 million uninsured
Americans. These uninsured persons can either choose a government-run insurance plan or they can
choose from private insurance plans.

Answer to Question 2

A
With the increase of monitoring and accountability for health care expenditure and the decrease of
available services per health care dollar, attention to the quality and safety of the care given arose.
Programs such as continuous quality improvement (CQI) and total quality improvement (TQI) were
begun to help assure society that these cost management efforts were not compromising care.
