Correct Answer
A. Insurers will no longer be able to drop policyholders when they get sick.Explanation
The given answer, "Insurers will no longer be able to drop policyholders when they get sick," is correct because it is the only event listed that will not happen in 2014. The other options, such as the establishment of health insurance exchanges and the expansion of Medicare eligibility, were part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and were scheduled to take effect in 2014. However, the provision prohibiting insurers from dropping policyholders when they get sick was already in effect before 2014, as part of the ACA. Therefore, it is not an event that will specifically happen in 2014.Rate this question:
