    Good healthcare spending is reflected in the healthier population by:

    • Increased life expectancy

    • Lower infant mortality

    • Lower morbidity

    • Higher Mortality for Chronic diseases

    • A+B+C

    Correct Answer
    A. A+B+C
    Explanation
    The correct answer is A+B+C because increased life expectancy, lower infant mortality, and lower morbidity are all indicators of a healthier population. Higher mortality for chronic diseases would not reflect good healthcare spending, as it would suggest that the healthcare system is not effectively managing and preventing chronic diseases. Therefore, the combination of A+B+C is the most accurate reflection of good healthcare spending and its impact on the population's health.

The health care system refers to the infrastructure, facilities, and services available for delivering healthcare, but it does not directly determine who has access to it.
