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.
ACE都可以排除 DE之间怎么选择？
其实还是题意有些不太明白~
谢谢~
看不懂你的问题，也许是笔误，是在B和D之间犹豫吧，答案选B？
题目是说医院要靠付费病人的医疗费来抵消因一些病人无法支付而给医院造成的损失，而付费病人的医疗费又主要由政府或保险公司承担，所以最终掏钱的是政府和保险公司（当然撇开税收和保费不谈）；然后说保险公司现在出的钱少了（暗示如果没有新的收入来源堵上这个缺口，医院就要亏了）。
仅凭以上这些信息，如何能够说医院降低成本的行为就会影响保险公司的行为——“will maintain the current level”？
还是理解有问题啊~汗~~~
