Which is a goal of Healthy People 2020 for vulnerable populations?
1. To provide insurance for all citizens.
2. To improve quality of care.
3. To ensure all clients have a primary care provider.
4. To eliminate co-payments for services.
Correct Answer: 2
The goal of Healthy People 2020 is to eliminate health disparities by improving access, quality, and care among identified vulnerable populations. While having insurance and a primary care provider may decrease health disparities, these are not specific goals for Healthy People 2020; neither is the elimination of co-payments for services.
