Studies Show U. S. Spending Doesn’t Get Best Health
The United States may spend twice as much on health care as other rich countries but it is not getting results to match, according to studies released on Tuesday.
But in the study of five wealthy countries, published in the journal Health Affairs, researchers found no single nation had clearly the worst or best health care system.
Gerard Anderson at Johns Hopkins University’s school of public health and colleagues came up with a list of 21 health fields they could evenly compare across the five countries--Australia, Canada, Britain, New Zealand and the United States.
"None of the five countries is consistently the best or the worst on all 21 indicators. " Anderson said during a telephone briefing for reporters.
"If you are looking for the place to get the best care. there isn’t a single place. Every country has at least one indicator where it scores the best of the five countries and each country has at least one indicator(指标) where it scores the worst of the five countries. "
But, he said, the United States is not getting value for money. "The United States should be particularly concerned about these results, given that we spend twice as much on health care as any other country. So spending more doesn’t necessarily result in better outcomes. "
Anderson’s group of international health experts sponsored by The Commonwealth (联邦)Fund spent five years working on the study, getting the latest possible data from the five countries on areas such as breast cancer and leukemia (白血病) survival, suicide rates, death rates from asthma (哮喘 ), vaccination (种痘) rates and cancer screening.
The other four countries provide better health care than the U. S.
选项
A、Right
B、Wrong
C、Not mentioned
答案
B
解析
问题句把研究中的5个国家在健康保健方面的工作效果进行了比较,因此注意文章中进行比较的句子。文中出现The United States may spend twice as much on healthcare as other rich countries but it is not getting results to match, according to studies released onTuesday. But in the study of five wealthy countries, published in the journal Health Affairs,researchers found no single nation had clearly the worst or best health care system. 以上句子的内容是说“这5个国家没有谁在健康保健方面最好或最坏”,而问题句说“其余四个国家都比美国好”,很显然这个推断是与原文内容不一致的,因此判断问题句的说法不正确。
