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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
