Answer 1

Answer (1)

option (A) Correct Answer Private insurers and providers should compete for consumers.

Option A sounds more reasonable among others. I can explain this with an example

if there are many Private insurers in the market everyone will try to provide or present their best to stand in the market (because of competition), this will give consumers an advantage to choose which one is the best for him/her both in economy term and as well as Healthcare perspective.

Answer (2)

option (D) Correct Answer Limited individual freedom

when there is a government's role in any activity people(citizen) have few or no option rather than to choose what government is providing. This would give an individual (consumer) limited freedom and options to choose which is best for him/her both in economic terms and Healthcare perspective. Because there is no competition in the market.
