ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: A, E
The United States leads the world in laboratory and clinical research. The United States also exceeds other industrialized countries in the availability and use of technological advances. We do not rank near the top in length of life or patient care outcomes, although we spend far more on health care than other industrialized nations. We are just beginning to confront the issues of access and rationing.
