ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: D, E
The federal government began to take a direct approach in identifying and monitoring national health care goals after the Surgeon General’s report. The Healthy Objectives Planning Act of 1990 was passed. Healthy People 2000, Healthy People 2010, and Healthy People 2020 are continuing the efforts. The establishment of a national committee, increased funding for health planning and health care, adoption of recommendations at the federal level, and the need for health care reform were not outcomes of the 1979 report.
