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.

Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the information above?

(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.
(B) If hospitals do not find ways of raising additional income for unreimbursed care, they must either deny some of that care or suffer losses if they give it.
(C) Some patients have incomes too high for eligibility for governmental health insurance but are unable to afford private insurance for hospital care.
(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.
(E) Even though philanthropic donations have traditionally provided some support for the hospitals, such donations are at present declining.

答案:B.....
題目也不是很懂..我選D...是想應該是圍繞在COST上 HELP

題目:以往醫院靠保險給付彌補未付醫療費用的缺口,現在保險公司嚴格管制醫療給付必需符合或低於實際的費用 (i.e. 醫院將喪失給付的餘裕,因而照顧不起不付錢的醫療)
(B) 沒有其他財源,只好拒絕醫療

(D) 自外條件敘述 (i.e. 題目沒有提)

(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.

比較像weaken by the information
和前題所給的相反
