Answer 1

The false statement is that public health service activities account for less than one tenth of the DHHS budget.

Step-by-step explanation:

The false statement in this question is:

b. Public health service activities account for less than one tenth of the DHHS budget.

In fact, public health service activities account for more than one tenth of the DHHS budget. The DHHS budget mainly supports the Medicare and Medicaid programs, which provide healthcare services to specific populations.

For example, Medicare provides healthcare services to people over the age of 65, while Medicaid provides services to individuals with low incomes. Other publicly funded healthcare programs include the Indian Health Service, the Veterans Health Administration, and the Children's Health Insurance Program.
