Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations are types of managed care. Medicare and Medicaid are government insurance programs. MSAs are not a type of health insurance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Medicaid provides financial assistance to states and counties to pay for medical services for the aged poor, the blind, the disabled, and families with dependent children who are below state poverty income levels. Medicaid does not provide coverage to those who have hypertension, are pregnant, or are hearing impaired unless they meet income guidelines.
