Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question is asking about who will have access to health care, indicating that it is concerned with the "allocation of resources" microeconomic question of "For whom will goods and services be produced?" Option E captures this question by specifically asking about who will receive health care.  Options A and C are concerned with the "how" and "what" questions of health care production, respectively. Option B is broader than the specific question of health care, addressing the general question of why goods and services are provided, and Option D is not relevant to this observation about Australia's universal health care system.
