Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, F
Medicare pays specified health care services for all people 65 years of age and older who are eligible to receive Social Security benefits. People with permanent disabilities and those with end-stage renal disease are also covered.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, F
Building on previous iterations, the updated 2020 version has four over-arching goals for 2020: (1) attain high quality, longer lives free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death; (2) achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all age groups; (3) create social and physical environments that promote good health for all; and (4) promote quality of life, health development, and health behaviors across all life stages. Achieving a plan for universal basic health care for citizens, eliminating health care disparities, and achieving health equity are not seen as national health goals in Healthy People 2020.
