※ 引述《lagunasyy (BAO)》之銘言： : 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. 題目的大意是這樣的 傳統上來說，美國醫院的收入，主要來自於病人付的錢，並藉由這些收入彌補一些無償的 支出 而這些病人所付的錢，幾乎都是保險給付的，不論是政府或民營的保險機構 最近，保險公司開始嚴格限制付給醫院的款項，故付的錢可能會低於醫院的成本 舉例來說，一間診所每月都會買雜誌給候診的病人看，這些買雜誌的錢，就類似 losses from unreimbursed care 以前可能這些買雜誌的錢，會平均分攤給每個病人後，向保險公司請款 但現在保險公司說no，說要買雜誌是你家的事，我支付的保險只涵蓋實際醫療行為的費用 像是醫生看診的鐘點費，或藥品的費用 (這個例子可能舉的不是很對，因為沒有再醫院工作過，所以實際運作可能不是這樣，但 這題的意思大概是這個樣子） : Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the information above? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 提醒一個觀念，不要看到題目有support，就當作support題型來做 這題是conclusion類型 簡單的區分方式是，若是問 "哪個選項support題目"，就是support類型 若是問 "題目support哪個選項"，就是conclusion類型，兩者不可混淆 然後，conclusion類型正解的原則是：不可超出原題範圍，不可違背原題，不可加入個 人主觀意見 : (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. 此選項超出原題範圍，原題未討論科技的影響 : (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. 此選項正確，如果了解上面寫的那個例子的話，題目的資訊可以合理推出這個結論 : (C) Some patients have incomes too high for eligibility for governmental : health insurance but are unable to afford private insurance for hospital care. 超出原題範圍，題目未討論病人的收入的議題 : (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. 違背原題，原題雖然沒有直接明講，但是可以知道保險公司不再為unreimbursed care 買單了 : (E) Even though philanthropic donations have traditionally provided some : support for the hospitals, such donations are at present declining. 超出原題範圍，題目未提及donations : 這題答案是B, 但是我連題目都看不懂, 什麼是offset losses from unreimbursed care : 可以請各位指點一下嗎...謝謝 -- http://www.wayshawn.com/ --
