Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In 2011, of households with an annual income less than 25,000, 25.4 had no health insurance. Lack of health insurance is a significant factor in creating homelessness. A serious illness or disability can lead to a downward spiral as a result of job loss, use of savings to pay for care, and inability to pay rent.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Although effective treatments and medications exist, most people (almost two thirds) with depressive illness do not seek help. Parity in insurance coverage helps for depressed persons who are encountering situational depression to receive services and promotes care being provided by a variety of providers.
