Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Large industrial giants, such as Kaiser Permanente, decided to assemble their own health care programs. They built hospitals, hired physicians, and provided health care services to their employees. In an effort to market this concept, the phrase health maintenance organization was created. These organizations were designed to provide comprehensive care to employees. As these large health care programs were established, enrollees had limited freedom of choice. Preventive care was covered and encouraged, but care was somewhat restricted, and care providers were encouraged to reduce costs by providing only the most necessary services.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The law was extended several times, and then it was not renewed by the Bush administration. In January 2009, the law was renewed again by the Obama administration.
