Answer 1

The Affordable Care Act aims to achieve the following goals:

• Improve the quality of healthcare and patient safety
• Make coverage more secure for those who have insurance, and extend affordable coverage to anyone that is uninsured
• Ensure access to quality, culturally competent care for all American demographics
• Reduce the growth of healthcare costs while promoting high-value, effective care
• Emphasize primary and preventive care associated with community prevention services
• Promote the adoption and usefulness of health information technology

So due to this there is a reduction in total expenditures on health care.

Hence ( B ) part is a correct answer
