A. Low-income individuals may qualify for Medicaid, not Medicare. Medicaid is a state and federally funded program designed for individuals with limited income and resources.
B. Military veterans typically receive health benefits through the VA (Veterans Affairs) system, not Medicare, unless they meet other eligibility criteria (like age).
C. Individuals aged 55–64 are not automatically eligible for Medicare unless they have certain qualifying disabilities or end-stage renal disease.
D. Individuals aged 65 and older are eligible for Medicare. Medicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for people aged 65 and over, though some younger individuals with disabilities may also qualify.

A. Team members may be very good at time management but poor on job satisfaction is incorrect. While a laissez-faire leader may allow autonomy, it typically leads to a lack of direction and focus rather than improved time management. Job satisfaction can often be lower because team members may feel unsupported or unclear about expectations.
B. Team members experience disagreements among themselves is incorrect. Although lack of leadership can lead to some conflicts, the key characteristic of a laissez-faire leadership style is often lack of direction, not necessarily an increase in conflict. The absence of leadership can lead to confusion, but not always direct conflict among team members.
C. Productivity is high with low job satisfaction is incorrect. With a laissez-faire leadership style, productivity is often lower due to the lack of structure, guidance, and accountability. When people are not guided or supervised, their performance typically suffers.
D. The staff may be very knowledgeable but have lack of focus on the job at hand is correct. A laissez-faire leadership style involves little to no direction or supervision, allowing team members to make their own decisions. This can lead to knowledgeable staff, but without proper guidance or a strong focus on the tasks at hand. Lack of direction and focus often results in poor organizational performance and low motivation.
