Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Rural counties with fewer than 2,500 persons had the highest rate of uninsured (23), with larger rural counties adjacent to urban counties having the same rate as urban counties (19).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Whether the issue is delivering health services, engaging in health education and health promotion, or using/availing prenatal care, dental care, or mental health care, life in these areas is qualitatively different from that in other parts of the country. When federal agencies such as the Health Resources and Services Administration target their programs to special populations, these areas are often included, for good reason. Poverty is strongly correlated with premature death.
