care?
A. Politicians are discussing how to improve health care.
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.
Correct ans> c
The primary reason for the focus on health care is the constantly increasing costs, which cannot
be sustained. The costs of caring for the sick accounted for the majority 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.

this involvement important?
A. Nurses, as central characters in several popular tv series, are currently very visible in
American media.
B. Nurses are primarily responusibsle fonr mtanagingothe various units in our health care
system.
C. Nurses are the largest segment of health care providers.
D. Nurses are the only group that is employed both inside and outside of hospitals.
