Explanation

False is correct because globalization of health care has not produced uniformly positive effects across both developed and developing countries. Developing nations in particular suffer from significant "brain drain," where skilled health care workers emigrate to wealthier countries for better pay and opportunities, leaving behind critical shortages of doctors and nurses. This migration benefits developed countries (option A's implicit claim) while simultaneously undermining health care systems in the very nations that can least afford it.

Why A (True) is wrong: The claim that both groups benefit is the key flaw - while developed countries do gain from globalization (cheaper medical goods, imported talent, medical tourism), developing countries often experience worsened outcomes, including increased health disparities and resource depletion.

Memory tip: Think of globalization as a one-way drain - resources and talent flow out of developing countries toward wealthier ones, making the "positive for both" claim false. If a question frames globalization as mutually beneficial, be skeptical.
