※ 引述《lagunasyy (BAO)》之铭言： : United States hospitals have traditionally relied primarily on revenues from : paying patients to offset losses from unreimbursed care. Almost all paying : patients now rely on governmental or private health insurance to pay hospital : bills. Recently, insurers have been strictly limiting what they pay hospitals : for the care of insured patients to amounts at or below actual costs. 题目的大意是这样的 传统上来说，美国医院的收入，主要来自於病人付的钱，并藉由这些收入弥补一些无偿的 支出 而这些病人所付的钱，几乎都是保险给付的，不论是政府或民营的保险机构 最近，保险公司开始严格限制付给医院的款项，故付的钱可能会低於医院的成本 举例来说，一间诊所每月都会买杂志给候诊的病人看，这些买杂志的钱，就类似 losses from unreimbursed care 以前可能这些买杂志的钱，会平均分摊给每个病人後，向保险公司请款 但现在保险公司说no，说要买杂志是你家的事，我支付的保险只涵盖实际医疗行为的费用 像是医生看诊的钟点费，或药品的费用 (这个例子可能举的不是很对，因为没有再医院工作过，所以实际运作可能不是这样，但 这题的意思大概是这个样子） : Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the information above? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 提醒一个观念，不要看到题目有support，就当作support题型来做 这题是conclusion类型 简单的区分方式是，若是问 "哪个选项support题目"，就是support类型 若是问 "题目support哪个选项"，就是conclusion类型，两者不可混淆 然後，conclusion类型正解的原则是：不可超出原题范围，不可违背原题，不可加入个 人主观意见 : (A) Although the advance of technology has made expensive medical procedures : available to the wealthy, such procedures are out of the reach of low-income : patients. 此选项超出原题范围，原题未讨论科技的影响 : (B) If hospitals do not find ways to raising additional income for : unreimbursed care, they must either deny some of that care of suffer losses : if they give it. 此选项正确，如果了解上面写的那个例子的话，题目的资讯可以合理推出这个结论 : (C) Some patients have incomes too high for eligibility for governmental : health insurance but are unable to afford private insurance for hospital care. 超出原题范围，题目未讨论病人的收入的议题 : (D) If the hospitals reduce their costs in providing care, insurance : companies will maintain the current level of reimbursement, thereby providing : more funds for unreimbursed care. 违背原题，原题虽然没有直接明讲，但是可以知道保险公司不再为unreimbursed care 买单了 : (E) Even though philanthropic donations have traditionally provided some : support for the hospitals, such donations are at present declining. 超出原题范围，题目未提及donations : 这题答案是B, 但是我连题目都看不懂, 什麽是offset losses from unreimbursed care : 可以请各位指点一下吗...谢谢 -- http://www.wayshawn.com/ --
