Question

Which particular factors that earlier may have been somewhat weak in bringing about national health insurance later led to the passage of Medicare and Medicaid?

Answer 1

The growing elderly population, which was a politically active force in the middle-class.

Medicare and Medicaid did not plan on how the majority of Americans would receive health care.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two factors that led to the passage of Medicare and Medicaid were:

• The growing population of elderly people, that was a political force in the middle class. They claimed for health care coverage.

• The fact that Medicaid and Medicare were originally designed for vulnerable populations and not considering how the majority of Americans would receive health care.
