Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that less than 2 of the cost of health care is related to medical malpractice. Studies by Zurich Insurance Company, Harvard University, and Dart-mouth University showed little, if any, impact on the cost of health care. The Harvard study showed patients were uncompensated in the presence of actual malpractice more frequently than physicians were held accountable in the absence of actual malpractice.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The principle of justice involves the fair distribution of care.
