问题    "In Oregon, they are attempting to be the model for healthcare reform. They have now made it possible to insure 80, 000 more children and 35, 000 more adults. How...You ask? Taxing the insurance companies with a 1% tax. Seems a small price for them to pay, but they did not pay it. They passed this tax on to the insured immediately. I am willing to pay 1 % for helping others, but it was intended to be the insurance companies’ responsibility. I do not see insurance companies competing to provide affordable coverage unless they are forced to do so by competing against a public option. "
   Comment 1:
   The government option is not about competition. If you had followed this debate for any a-mount of time you would realize those who now try to promote the "government option" using the words "choice" and "competition," just a short time ago, and some still now, were talking SINGLE PAYER. SINGLE PAYER is their goal, single payer means MONOPOLY, single payer means NO CHOICE, NO COMPETION, one option which is the GOVERNMENT! They only use the words "choice" and "competition" because they have taken polls and know these words are popular, they use these words like bait for fish (us) which they wish to FRY!
   Comment 2:
   If Government has total control they can save money, HOW? By denying care, putting people to sleep like dogs! Making people stand in line, not allowing even cash payments. They would have total control over our lives, that is what the government option is about—Totalitarian RULE—a nations of slaves and few elite government RULERS!
   Comment 3:
   We all know it will take some compromise. What many forget is that this is the negotiating phase. This is when we decide how much each group will pay and everyone wants the " upper hand. " So there is something to fight for and we are fighting for it.
   Comment 4:
   That’s pretty much what will happen nationally unless something is done to foster more competition. The big insurers have no incentive to hold the line on premiums otherwise, which is why they’re likely to drop their objections to the reform bill if it gets out of committee without at least a trigger provision for a public option.
   Comment 5:
   Some Op-Ed I read this morning—and I’ve been reading too much of it—suggests that the subsequent increases in premiums that will be brought on by taxing insurance companies will ultimately drive down costs, because employers will be compelled to buy less coverage or raise employee contributions. That seems nonsense to me.
   Comment 6:
   The best way to encourage CHOICE and COMPETITION is to lift government regulation and let the thousands of insurance companies that exist in the United States compete across state lines. Right now, that is not allowed and this restriction greatly hinders competition as each state allows only certain insurance companies access to the people, why, because Government wants CONTROL!
According to Comment 5, which of the following might NOT be the results of taxing insurance companies?
选项 A、The increase in premiums.
B、The rise in the costs.
C、Less coverage bought.
D、More employee contributions.
答案B
解析     细节题中的NOT TRUE题型或EXCEPT题型。可套用公式：正确答案≠原文中某一句话的表达。首先要读懂题目，题目的意思是哪个选项不是向保险公司征税可能引起的后果，然后回到原文中认真阅读，理解原文因果关系的表述。做题的关键是理解the subsequent increases in premiums that will be brought on by taxing insurance companies will ultimately drive down costs这句的含义。这句话有两层意思：一层是向保险公司征税会引起保险金的相应上升；另一层意思是保险金的相应上升最终会压低成本。因此，可以看出B选项the rise in the costs(成本上升)与原文表述不符。
