Which of the following is an overarching goal of Healthy People 2010?

Decreasing healthcare costs was not listed as one of the two overarching goals of Healthy People 2010; cost reduction was a policy concern but not a formal goal of this initiative.

Creating a more coordinated healthcare system was not an overarching goal of Healthy People 2010; the initiative focused on population health outcomes and equity, not system structure.

Establishing a national health insurance program was never a goal of Healthy People 2010; it is a public health science-based initiative focused on measurable health outcomes, not insurance policy.

Healthy People 2010 established two overarching national goals: (1) increase quality and years of healthy life, and (2) eliminate health disparities. These goals drove all 467 specific objectives organized across 28 focus areas, making 'increase quality and years of healthy life' a direct, official overarching goal of the initiative as published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
