a. The US charges money from the private sector only.
b. US health care is funded from private organizations.
c. The US health care system is not entirely government funded.

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.
