Any country has good reason to want its citizens to be as healthy as possible, since one of its greatest resources is an active population. No country wants its people to suffer unnecessarily from ill health.
This was the kind of thinking which led to the introduction of a health service in many countries. In Britain this has developed into a "Welfare State" in which all citizens, rich and poor alike, can get most health treatment free. The money for this is partially raised by contributions from employers and employees.
As three decades have shown, such automatic arrangements are not always ideal and there are arguments for and against the Health Service. The number of patients treated every year and the cost of treatment are much greater than was estimated. This means that the people who work for the Health Service-doctors, nurses and other hospital staff — have much more routine work to do and as a result they have little time for preventive medicine. The Health Service does need more staff — a need that can only be met if more money is made available to it.
However, a powerful argument for the Health Service is that many people are able to receive expensive treatment which they could never afford themselves. Sometimes this free treatment is abused and people visit their doctors when they don’t really need to. Because they have so many patients, doctors cannot spend as long with each one as they would like, and some people prefer to pay for private treatment so that their doctors can give them more time. In fact, some wealthy people feel that they should pay, and so free more money for treatment to others. [br] The author mentions that some wealthy people prefer to pay for private treatment because ______.
选项
A、their doctors can give them more time leave from work
B、those doctors have better medical instruments
C、they might save some money for the poor
D、their doctors have a stronger sense of responsibility for the patients
答案
C
解析
细节推理题。根据题干关键词wealth people,private treatment定位答案在最后一段。根据尾段尾句可知,富人们应该请私人医生看病且费用自理,这样就可以把多余的钱让给其他人治疗。选项C中“save money for the poor”与此信息一致,故答案为C。
