I think it is False

The Law of Large Numbers explains why it is unlikely that the actuarially fair premium for an insurance policy will be the same for a small start up firm as it will be for a large employer such as a university.

The U.S. is unusual in the developed world in that it uses a general tax to fund health insurance for the elderly.

To check if your answer is correct, we need to understand the terms involved.

CHAMPVA stands for Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs. It is a health benefits program provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to dependents of veterans who are not eligible for their own VA health care coverage.

SSI stands for Supplemental Security Income. It is a means-tested program provided by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to support disabled individuals with limited income and resources.

Now, considering these definitions, we can determine the primary payer for a patient who has SSI.

Typically, SSI is not a primary payer for healthcare services, as it is a need-based program that provides income support rather than health insurance coverage. This means SSI will not directly pay for medical services.

On the other hand, CHAMPVA is a health benefits program that can provide insurance coverage for dependents of veterans. If a patient is eligible for CHAMPVA, it could be considered a primary payer for the healthcare services they receive.

Based on this information, your answer of "False" is correct. CHAMPVA would not be considered a primary payer for a patient who has SSI.
