A student asks the instructor about health care economics. The instructor knows the student understands when the student makes which statement?
a. "The elderly population uses most of the health care services."
b. "Everyone should have health insurance to obtain services."
c. "Health care dollars should be partitioned by the government."
d. "Resources will be needed to serve health care issues."
ANS: D
Every health care issue needs resources to bring it to fruition. Without the resources, the health care issue would not be served. The elderly are a large part of the population, but that does not change the economics of health care. Everyone does not have health insurance, so that statement would not enter into health care economics. Last, all health care dollars are not partitioned by the government; third party payers exist.
