 The standard of medicine in the United
States is generally agreed to be very
high. There is no shortage of well
qualified specialists, and there is a lot of
individual attention. Treatment is backed
up by the latest in the way of medical
technology. Doctors and hospitals do
their utmost not to make mistakes,
because if they do they risk being made
to pay out enormous sums in
compensation.
But the American health care system has
what look like insoluble problems. There
are in fact two systems side by side. One
is the private system run on the basis of
free competition. The other is the public
system which had to be created because
such a large part of the population,
including many of the elderly, could not
afford to pay for the absurdly
expensive private treatment.
The public system is vast. A huge
proportion - more than 10 per cent - of
the United States federal budget goes
on it. Yet there are still very large
numbers of Americans who are not
covered even by this service. The
government tries to keep expenditure
down and so sets limits to the income of
people using the system. Millions of the
unemployed are another important
group that is excluded.
What is the state of the health system in
America?
It is ______________.
A. unsatisfactory
B. satisfactory
C. too risky
D. too mechanized
