Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The government as an insurer faces the same costs, access, and quality issues faced by the private sector. They do not have unlimited funding for the special populations (federal, state, local employees, military, veterans, prisoners, and Indians). Like the private sector each population is served in open, broadly-based, connected systems for coordination of benefits.
