Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Socialized medicine" typically refers to a medical system that is run and financed by the government. This means that the government owns and operates most aspects of the medical system, including hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers, and is responsible for financing medical care for all citizens. This is different from government insurance programs (option A) which may provide financial assistance to individuals to pay for medical care, but do not necessarily involve state ownership and control of the medical system itself. Options C and D refer to health programs that involve support groups and treatment methods, but are not directly related to the concept of socialized medicine.
