Coherent solutions for the problem of reducing health-care costs cannot be found within the current piecemeal system of paying these costs. The reason is that this system gives health-care providers and insurers every incentive to shift, wherever possible, the costs of trating illness onto each other or any other party, including the patient. That clearly is the lesson of the various reforms of the 1980s: push in on one part of this pliable spending balloon and an equally expensive bulge pops up elsewhere. For example, when the government health-care insurance program for the poor cut costs by disallowing payments for some vistits to physicians, patients with advanced illness later presented themselves at hospital emergency rooms in increased numbers.
The argument provides the most support for which one of the following?
A. Under the conditions in which the current system operates, the overall volume of health-care costs could be shrunk, if at all, only by a comprehensive approach.
B. Relative to the resources available for health-care funding, the income of the higher-paid health-care professionals is too high.
C. Health-care costs are expanding to meet additional funds that have been made available for them.
D. Advances in medical technolog have raised the expected standards of medical care but have proved expensive.
E. Since unfilled hospital beds contribute to overhead charges on each patients's bill, it would be unwise to hold unused hospital capacity in reserve for large=scale emergencies.
The answer is A, Why? Thanks alot.
LAYNE,请正确标题来源：L7-1-8
该题为归纳题。原文说要减少医疗费用，目前的系统不行，因为会导致拆东墙补西墙，总体费用下不来。言下之意是只能用非拆东墙补西墙的方法，即综合的方法。即A
Where did you find the 非拆东墙补西墙法？ Thanks
And, by the way, lawyer_1, I use the LSAT yellow book which does not indicate the number of the test. I counted the test from the begaining, but it was wrong anyway. Sorry about that.
