Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, E
Medicare is funded by the federal government. It covers people who are 65 years old and older, disabled people, and patients who have end-stage renal disease. It does not cover all patients in the hospital, because some patients do not qualify for Medicare. It is not funded by third-party payers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Other countries fund the health care system so that every citizen may have health care. In addition they provide the option that citizens may purchase private health care too. The US has a combination of private companies and government agencies funding health care, so money is not coming from just the private sector. The older person in the population receives care according to the insurance coverage they have, but the care is not before anyone else.
