150.
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 to raising additional income for unreimbursed care, they must either deny some of that care of 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.
不明白为什么是B，请教思路ing...该如何做
谢谢大家
题目的意思是:
1. 美国医院传统上主要依靠来源于付费病人的收入来抵消免费治疗的损失. 2. 付费病人靠保险来支付. 3.保险支付的金额少了.
可推断出医院的收入减少了, 为了维持平衡, 如OG的解释
It follows that they have three options: finding a new way to cover that cost, reducing it by giving less unreimbused care(减少免费治疗,从而减少损失,如B), or suffering a loss.
能翻译一下答案吗？“they must either deny some of that care of suffer losses if they give it.”是什么意思？第二个ｔｈｅｙ指什么？
解题思路：
STEP1 判断是什么题型。which...be supported，是MUST BE TRUE题。立刻联想lawyer的MUST BE TRUE题的解题方法：如果文章是推理，则列出推理链，用推理链中的项去做有关无关排除；如果不是推理，则记住文章信息，文章信息如果有结合点的，记住结合点
STEP2 判断文章：给出了三个信息，没有推理。所以要注意这三个信息的内容，以及相互有没有结合点。三个信息分别为：
1 医院主要靠paying patients（简写pp）的收入来弥补unreimbursed care（不需要看懂，简写uc）的损失
2 几乎所有pp都买保险了（无论是国有保险公司还是死人保险公司）
3 保险公司降低了对pp的赔付
这三个信息是有结合点的，结合23得出4：pp付给医院的少了，结合14得出：医院用来弥补uc损失的收入少了-->医院要么就承担损失要么就减少uc，答案B
STEP3 根据以上结合点找答案。在找答案的时候先做有关无关排除（联想lawyer说的，MUST BE TRUE题的答案必然是原文信息的重现或结合）。
A：技术进步、wealthy，跟文章信息完全没有关系，跟结合也没有关系
B：答案
C：income，无关，且原文没有做过国有和私人保险公司的比较
D：从医院推到保险公司，方向不对，且原文没有在保险公司和uc之间建立任何联系
E：捐赠，无关。
携隐mm非常好的回答。
由于刚开始学逻辑，希望能看到更多这样的思路分析，我对lawyer1的大作是充满敬意，却不知如何操作，希望携隐mm能给出相关的例题分析，以提高思路，我这要求有些过分了，但实在是考试时间不远了，急切希望得到帮助！

(3) "Unreimbursed care" means the sum of the provision for bad debts plus charity service, Medicare deductions, Medicaid deductions and contractual deductions.
