Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:

3, Discuss that twice as many Hispanics and African Americans are uninsured when compared to non-Hispanic whites.
4, Discuss Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program as two specific government programs designed to give the poor access to quality health care.
