Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The 1974 Act was unsuccessful because it grandfathered in the entire health care system. In other words, nothing had to change.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Each response is an accurate portrayal of a branch of ethics. Beneficence and social justice would give moral advantage to the most vulnerable. By caring for these families, the demands of utilitarianism (the most good for the largest number) would also be met as caring for the weakest supports the whole community.
