In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a potential buyer with various inducements of price, quality and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. In the health care industry, however, the doctor-patient relation- ship is the mirror image of the ordinary relationship between producer and consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physician, the physician usually makes all significant purchasing decisions: whether the patient should return "nest Wednesday" whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc.
This is particularly significant in relation to hospital care. The physician must certify the need for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be discharged. The patient may be consulted about some of these decisions, but in the main it is the doctor' s judgments that are final. Little wonder then that in the eyes of the hospital it is the physician who is the real "consumer. "As a consequence, the medical staff represents the "power center" in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.
Although usually there are in this situation four identifiable participants, the physician, the hospital, the patient and the payer(generally an insurance carrier or government), the physician makes the essential decision for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physicians; the payer generally meets most of the bona fide bills generated by the physician/hospital and for the most part, the patient's plays a passive role. In routine or minor illness or just plain worries, the patient's options are of course, much greater with respect to use and price. But in illnesses that are of some significance, such choice tends to evaporate. And it is for these illnesses that the bulk of the health care dollar is spent. We estimate that about 75 N 80 percent of health care expenditures are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, economy measures directed at patients or the general public are relatively ineffective.
The author's primary purpose is______。
A. to criticize doctors for exercising too much control over patients
B. to analyze some important economic factors in health care
C. to urge hospitals to reclaim their decision-making authority
D. to inform. potential patients of their health care rights

听力原文: (29)The United States has 7000 hospitals. These hospitals care for 40 million patients each year. The United States has 4000000 doctors. These doctors take care of the American people. (30)Most of these doctors are in private practice. This means that the patient pays for the doctor's service. Health care is not provided by the government in the United States. The individual must pay. Modern medical bills are very costly. They are often beyond the capability of the individual patient to pay. (31)As a result, the American health system has some government help, many kinds of health insurance plans and individual payment. As a result, the American health care system is a mess.
(32)An American who does not have health insurance is taking a great risk If he is suddenly hospitalized, he'll find that the bill will be large. Most companies pay some or all of their employees' health insurance. This helps the individual worker enormously. However, most health insurance has a limit. That is, after the patient has been sick for a while, his insurance may run out. Then the individual is responsible for the medical bills again. Health insurance is very complicated. The person may feel secure that his health insurance will pay the bills. After he becomes iii, he finds that the insurance only covers some of the costs. It is quite a shock tO the patient.

Disease, Diagnosis Treatment and Prevention
Disease may be defined as the abnormal state in which part or all of the body is not properly adjusted or is not capable of carrying on all its required functions.There are marked (显著的) variations in the extent of the disease and in its effect on the person.
In order to treat a disease, the doctor obviously must first determine the nature of the illness- that is, make a diagnosis.A diagnosis is the conclusion drawn from a number of facts put together.The doctor must know the symptoms(症状), which are the changes in body function felt by the patient; and the signs(体征)(also called objective symptoms)which the doctor himself can observe.Sometimes a characteristic group of signs (or symp-toms) accompanies a given disease.Such a group is called a syndrome(综合症).Frequent- ly certain laboratory tests are performed and the results evaluated by the physicians in making his diagnosis.
Although nurses do not diagnose, they play an extremely valuable role in this process by ob-serving closely for signs, encouraging the patient to talk about himself and his symptoms, and then reporting this information to the doctor.Once the patient's disorder is known, the doctor prescribes a course of treatment, also referred as therapy (疗法).Many measures in this course of treatment are carried out by the nurse under the physician's orders.
In recent years physicians, nurses and other health workers have taken increasing responsi- bilities in prevention.Throughout most of medical history, the physician's aim has been to cure a patient of an existing disease.However, the modem concept of prevention seeks to stop disease before it actually happens to keep people well through the promotion of health.A vast number of organizations exist for this purpose, ranging from the World Health Organization (WHO) on an international level down to local private and community health programs.A rapidly growing re- sponsibility of the nursing treatment profession is educating individual patients toward the mainte- nance of total health physical and mental.
第 16 题 Disease refers to the condition in which one or two parts of the body fail to func- tion properly.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned
