B. THE MEDIA HAS PROVIDED MIXED MESSAGES ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.
C. OUR NATIONAL HEALTH CARE COSTS KEEP INCREASING.
D. THE NEW HEALTH CARE SYSTEM OFFERS FREE SERVICES TO AMERICANS.
ANS:: C
THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE FOCUS ON HEALTH CARE IS THE CONSTANTLY INCREASING COSTS,

OF ESCALATING HEALTH CARE DOLLARS, WHICH INCREASED FROM 5.7% OF THE GROSS DOMESTIC
PRODUCT IN 1965 TO 17.8% IN 2015. POLITICIANS AND THE MEDIA BOTH INFLUENCE AMERICANS’
PERCEPTIONS ABOUT HEALTH CARE; HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT THE PRIMARY REASON WHY AMERICANS
ARE CONCERNED. THE NEW HEALTH CARE SYSTEM WILL CHANGE THE HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND
AVAILABILITY, BUT WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE OFFERING ANY FREE SERVICES TO AMERICANS.
DIF: COGNITIVE LEVEL: UNDERSTAND (COMPREHENSION)

CARE SYSTEM.
