Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Only answer D suggests an ethical dilemma for which there is no easy answer. Answer A is an assumption that many have about health care. Answer B is a fact, as some health insurance programs charge more for those who smoke. Answer C is an opinion, as although there are some clinics for the poor, health care access is limited.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, D
The Public Health Services provides all of these services and others, except the Veterans Administration Hospitals. VA hospitals are supported by government-operated health care, not the PHS.
