Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
If a new idea in America becomes a law, people who suffer from obesity could suffer financially too.
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 exempt.
If the idea is approved by Congress, smokers and diabetics who fail to stick to a healthy lifestyle will also have to pay. Medicaid, the organisation which provides healthcare to the poor in the USA, costs the government $339bn 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 penalising people who go against their doctor’s wishes, incentives would be offered for following advice, possibly a keep-fit video.
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.
选项
A、People who don’t follow doctors’ advice should pay tax.
B、Taxes collection on overweight people needs to be enhanced.
C、Parents should pay tax for their overweight children in Arizona.
D、Doctor’s advice for fat people is not offered on the Internet.
答案
A
解析
新闻指出,美国的亚利桑那州对那些不接受医生的建议而超重的公民每年收取50美元超重税;吸烟者和那些未能坚持健康生活方式的人也必须交税;同样,那些不接受医生的建议或者鼓励的人也要受到惩罚。故正确答案是A。
