Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, E
Feedback:
Politics interferes with every aspect of healthcare in the United States. In reference to a political issue, the government should be interested in problems that affect a specific group or a whole population. There are many examples of the positive role that governments play through policies and legislations, including providing equal opportunity through universal provision of education, healthcare, and often housing and nutrition programs. There is little agreement between the two major U.S. political parties (Democrats and Republicans) when it comes to whom, how, what, and when healthcare should be provided and who should pay for it. Solutions can be achieved by working at either the federal or the state level.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Nongovernmental organizations are private agencies that voluntarily use their resources to address a variety of healthcare initiatives in the United States. The International Committee of the Red Cross is known most for its role in disaster relief. Oxfam International focuses specifically on issues related to hunger and nutritional health. Philanthropies are organizations that are similar to NGOs but receive funding through personal endowments. For example, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation focuses on health, poverty, and development in Africa, South America, Asia, and Australia. The Living Proof Project supports vaccine and nutrition programs, as well as decreasing the incidence of diseases such as polio, HIV/AIDS, and tropical illnesses.
