Read the passage below carefully and answer the question that follows.
The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) Act was signed into law in May 2022, repealing the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) Act of 1999. Unlike its predecessor, which made health insurance coverage voluntary for state governments and private sector workers, the 2022 Act renders health insurance mandatory for all Nigerian citizens and legal residents. To support vulnerable populations who cannot afford premium payments, the Act established the Vulnerable Group Fund (VGF). This fund is primarily financed through basic health care provision funds, special allocations from the federal government, and health-impact taxes levied on telecommunication services and alcohol, rather than direct payroll deductions from low-income earners.
According to the passage, how is the Vulnerable Group Fund primarily financed?
- Through government allocations, basic healthcare funds, and specific health-impact taxes.Answer
- BVia mandatory monthly payroll deductions withheld directly from low-income workers.
- CBy voluntary premium contributions collected from state governments and private enterprises.
- DThrough administrative revenue generated from the repealed 1999 National Health Insurance Scheme.
