Unlike Britain, the US does not have a national health care service. Most people buy medical insurance to help pay for medical care. The government only helps pay for some medical care for the old and the people who are on low incomes. The problems of those who cannot afford insurance have become an important political subject.

In Britain, when people are ill, they usually go to a family doctor first. However, people in America sometimes go straight to an expert. Children are usually taken to a doctor who is an expert in the treatment of children. In Britain, if a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, their family doctor will usually recommend a specialist, which will save more time and money both for the patients and the public fund(基金).

In Britain, doctors do not go to people’s homes when they are ill. People always make appointments to see the doctor in the doctor’s office. In a serious situation, people call for an ambulance. In America, hospitals must treat all seriously ill patients, even if they do not have medical insurance. The gov-ernment will then help pay for some of the cost of the medical care.

The majority of Americans pay for medical care     .

A. through the national health care service   B. by buying medical insurance

C. with the help of the government

    D. by increasing their income

The author implies in Paragraph 2 that      .

    A. Americans don’t trust family doctors

    B. family doctors are helpless to the patients

    C. he is more in favor of the British medical care service

    D. sick children should go to family doctors first

In the States, seriously ill patients will      .

    A. be treated if they have an insurance

    B. go to see the doctor by making an appointment

    C. receive treatment even without insurance

D. normally go to see an expert for treatment

Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

    A. Health Care in the United States and Britain

    B. Types of Doctors in the United States

    C. Treatment of Sick Children in the United States

    D. Medical Insurance in the United States and Britain
