Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scoring in the context of attempting to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act means evaluating how many additional people would be uninsured because of the proposed legislation (A) and how it would affect the federal budget deficit (B). Planned Parenthood funding is not directly related to the repeal-and-replace efforts, so it is not included in the scoring. Therefore, the best answer is D as it includes both A and B.
