Under the umbrella of DHHS there are multiple agencies involved in?

• A. Overseeing the day-to-day operations of hospitals
• B. Regulating all public transportation
• C. Overseeing many different aspects of the health care system
• D. Setting unrelated agricultural policy

Answer: (C)

DHHS, the Department of Health and Human Services, coordinates a wide range of agencies that cover many different parts of health care and public health. The idea is that this department oversees diverse aspects of the health care system—funding, research, disease prevention, public health programs, and services for various populations—through its various agencies. That breadth makes it the best fit for describing involvement in many different aspects of health care. It wouldn’t fit to say it handles day-to-day hospital operations, which are run by the hospitals themselves and regulated by specific bodies; it also isn’t responsible for regulating public transportation or setting agricultural policy, which fall under other sectors.
