Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Medicare was established as a means of funding some types of direct client medical care, hospice and rehabilitation care may be covered, but nursing home residence is not.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
PACE programs provide a range of services using a capitated managed care model. They are focused on meeting the needs of adults with chronic conditions and are not an alternative to in-hospital treatment of acute illness. They are less expensive than fee-for-service models and presently are receiving funding under both Medicare and Medicaid. The 2010 Affordable Care Act provides incentives for further expansion of PACE programs.
