共用题干第一篇U. S. States Do Poorly in Women's HealthNot a single U. S. state meets basic federal goals for women's health,and the nation as a whole fails except in two areas一mammograms(乳腺X光照片)and dental(牙齿的) check-ups一researchers said on Thursday.Millions of women lack health insurance,and states make it difficult to enroll(加入)in Medicaid,the state-federal health insurance plan for the poor,according to the report.And few states are doing anywhere near enough to help women quit smoking一the leading cause of death in the United States."The nation as a whole and the individual states fall short of meeting national goals," reads the report,put together by the National Women's Law Center and the Oregon Health&Science University."These health goals provide a road map for assessing the status of women's health."Of 27 measures examined by the group,from screening for diseases to actually treating them,the nation passes on only two,the researchers said."The nation is so far from the health goals that it receives an overall grade of'unsatisfactory',"they wrote.The problem seems to be a lack among states of an overall plan for health in general, the NWLC said." State policy makers' piecemeal(一件一件做的)approach to our health care crisis has resulted in a complex and ineffective system that fails to meet the health care needs of women,"Judy Waxman,NWLC Vice President for Health,said in a statement."Lawmakers need to take a comprehensive,long-term approach to meeting women's health needs and tackle this serious problem that troubles so many families." The national goals for women's health make it easier toA:meet women's health needs.B:assess the status of women's health.C:solve women's health problems.D:deal with the health care crisis.

Text 2 As lawmakers fight over what conditions insurance companies should be required to cover,other areas of health-care reform remain painfully neglected.One major example:How much should insurance companies pay for what they cover?Consumers rarely care about health-care prices beyond what they personally pay for deductibles,co-payments and prescription drugs.But insurance payments are crucial to understanding why health-care prices have gotten so out of control in the United States.A new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine makes this abundantly clear:Hospital emergency departments across the country are prone to excessively overcharge patients with private insurance,the study found,demanding that patients pay-on average-more than four times what Medicare pays for typical emergency procedures.This is not the heritage of sound medicine.This is the outcome of an extremely complicated and disjointed health-care system-and it's not necessarily the result of greedy hospitals trying to milk large profits out of vulnerable populations.Instead,it's the result of messy provider networks-rife with discounts and confusing contracts,designed by insurance companies and providers to attract customers.There are policy solutions to correct this system.Maryland,for example,has long operated under an"all-payer system"in which everyone pays the same rate for the same treatment-set by an independent state agency.Under this system,Medicare pays higher rates for care than in other states,but in the long run,it saves money-to the tune of$319 million-because the payment system incentivizes hospitals to reduce the number of people they admit.In other words,it encourages payment for quality of care,not quantity.Health-care providers have an incentive to work more closely with nursing facilities to deliver preventive care.Physicians also work more closely with patients to reduce preventable complications and hospital readmissions,which have dropped in Maryland faster than the national average in recent years.This innovative approach to solving price disparities in health-care costs is refreshing,although what works in Maryland might not work everywhere else.But other states have also passed laws to reduce price variation in health care,particularly for uninsured and low-income patients who would be most harmed by surprise medical bills.Unfortunately,reform efforts led by Republicans in Congress will likely worry the health-care industry enough to threaten state-led initiatives.Uncertainty-especially in terms of what our insurance markets will look like a year from now-makes it difficult,if not impossible,for states to experiment with different policies.That's a shame,because that's where the exciting and innovative reforms are happening.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Uncertainty in the Health-Care IndustryB."All-Payer System"in MarylandC.The Health-Care Reform IgnoredD.Medicare vs.Private Insurance
