Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A (1): Increasing private insurance options outside the workplace doesn't directly relate to national debt.
• Option B (2): Temporary price increases in employer - sponsored plans don't involve government spending that would increase national debt.
• Option C (3): Government subsidies to help pay for health insurance require government spending. A person concerned about high national debt would oppose this as it can increase the debt (due to government outlays).
• Option D (4): Ending coverage limits is a regulatory change, not a spending measure related to national debt.
