What might happen if the federal government makes cuts to health care spending?
there would be fewer hospital services, and research would decline.
there would be more hospital services, and research projects would increase.
there would be higher costs for patients, and research would stay the same.
there would be lower costs for patients, and research projects would drop

The third option (There would be higher costs for patients, and research would stay the same.)

There would be higher costs for patients, and research would stay the same.

Explanation:

With less amount of money coming from the government, treating all the patients that a hospital used to will become much more expensive. Most likely, the extra costs will end up being redirected to the patients. Research wouldn't be affect by this, though, because it is not directly connected to health care costs.
