Decisions that control the supply itself-for example, what proportion of the federal budget will be spent on medical care-are generally referred to by what term?

A) macroallocation
B) microallocation
C) Medicaid
D) Dialysis

Macroallocation refers to decisions that control the overall supply of resources, such as determining the allocation of funds from the federal budget. Microallocation, on the other hand, refers to decisions that control the distribution of resources within a specific area or population. Medicaid and Dialysis are not relevant to the question.
