共用题干 Health Care in the US

Health care in the US is well-known but very expensive.Paying the doctor"s bill after a
major illness or accident can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In the US,a person"s company,not the government,pays for health insurance.
Employers have contracts with insurance companies,which pay for all or part of employees"
doctors" bills.
The amount that the insurance company will pay out to a patient differs wildly. It all depends
on what insurance the employer pays.The less the boss pays to the insurance company,the
more the employee has to pay the hospital each time he or she gets sick. In 2004,the average
worker paid an extra US$558 a year,according to a San Francisco report.
The system also means many Americans fall through the cracks（遭遗漏）.In 2004,
only 61 percent of the population received health insurance through their employers,
according to the report. The unemployed,self-employed,part-time workers and graduated
students with no jobs were not included,

day on the job.Often,they are no longer protected by their parents" insurance because they
are now considered independent adults.They also cannot buy university health insurance because they
are no longer students.

are required to have health insurance and cannot begin their classes without it,But exact
policies（保险单）differ from school to school.
Most universities work with health insurance companies and sell their own standard plan
for students.Often,buying the school plan is required,but luckily it"s also cheaper than
buying direct from the insurance company. In 2004,most of the unemployed in the US were women.
