Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2, 3
While regulations come from the government, it does not control or govern the entire system. Only those who can afford to pay have family doctors who they see regularly. Medically indigent often rely on emergency rooms for care. Insurance providers dictate what they will pay for and often require preapproval for procedures and services.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 2, 3
People over age 65, people who are permanently disabled, and people with end-stage renal disease qualify for Medicare.
