ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: C
Funding for behavioral changes is limited, inadequate, or unavailable. Weight loss programs or smoking cessation programs are not reimbursable treatment regimens, although more expensive pharmaceutical interventions are reimbursable. Therefore, it is financially wise not to worry until illness strikes because illness care is reimbursable, whereas preventive health care is not.
