If a new idea in America becomes a law, people who suffer from obesity could suffer financially too. [5]The US state of Arizona wants to charge overweight citizens $50 annually if they fail to follow their doctors’ advice. People with children or who are overweight because they suffer from a medical condition would be excluded.
[5]If the idea is approved by Congress, smokers and diabetics who fail to stick to a healthy lifestyle will also have to pay. [6]Medicaid, the organisation which provides healthcare to the poor in the USA, costs the government $339 billion a year. Monica Coury, assistant director at Arizona’s Medicaid programme, said that this proposal would ask people to give something back.
She said that Arizona would take a carrot and stick approach to the problem. As well as punishing people who go against their doctor’s wishes, awards would be offered for following advice, possibly a keep-fit video.
[7]Arizona’s senator Kyrsten Sinema has not backed the plans, saying that there isn’t a system to decide whether someone is or isn’t following medical advice. Other critics claim that people don’t need the government to look after them; if they want to be fat and smoke, the "nanny state" shouldn’t try to stop them.
5. What is the new idea of Arizona?
6. What is Medicaid?
7. Why do Kyrsten Sinema go against the plans?
选项
A、He himself is very fat too.
B、The assessment system is not sound.
C、People should have their own freedom.
D、It may cause a lot of social problems.
答案
B
解析
新闻指出,亚利桑那州的参议员Kyrsten Sinema没有支持该提议,因为他认为没有一个能判定病人是否遵循医嘱的系统(there isn’t a system to decide whether someone is or isn’t following medical advice),B“评估系统不健全”符合题意。而其他评论家宣称,人们不需要政府的照顾,如果他们想要成为胖子或想抽烟,这个“保姆式的国家”不该试图阻止他们。C“人们有自由”是其他评论家的看法。A“他自身也很胖”和D“将引起许多社会问题”均没有在新闻中提到。
