Answer 1

If the government provides universal health insurance, it will not need a screening test since there will be no discrimination whatsoever.

Step-by-step explanation:

Universal Health Insurance will make health care accessible to all people making them benefit from quality health services, where and when they need them, without suffering financial hardship. It has 3 key dimensions:

• Access to health services: everyone who needs services should get them, not only those who can pay for them.
• Financial risk protection: people should not fall into debt paying for treatment and care.
• Quality of services: services should be adequate and effective.

Answer 2
