ANS: D
In the United States, the government’s role in promoting or ensuring children’s health is more limited than in many other countries. Other countries often have defined policies on children’s health; the United States does not. Not only do such policies indicate that children are a priority of the citizenry, but they also help shape the operation of programs and their funding.
