UnitedStateshospitalshavetraditionally relied primarily onrevenuesfrompayingpatients to offsetlosses from
unreimbursed care.Almostallpayingpatientsnowrely ongovernmentalorprivatehealthinsurance topay
hospital bills. Recently, insurershavebeenstrictlylimiting whatthey payhospitalsfor thecareofinsured
patientstoamountsat orbelowactualcosts
Whichof thefollowing conclusionsisbestsupportedby theinformation above?
(A) Althoughtheadvanceoftechnology hasmadeexpensivemedicalproceduresavailableto thewealthy,
suchproceduresareout of thereach of low-income patients.
(8) Ifhospitalsdonotfind waysof raisingadditionalincome forunreimbursedcare,they musteitherdeny

(e) Somepatientshaveincomes toohigh for eligibility for governmentalhealth insurance but areunableto
affordprivate insurance for hospitalcare.
(D) If thehospitalsreduce their costs inprovidingcare,insurance companieswillmaintainthecurrentlevel of
reimbursement,thereby providingmorefunds forunreimbursedcare.
(El Eventhough philanthropicdonationshavetraditionallyprovidedsomesupportfor thehospitals,such
donationsareat present declining.
OG Prethinking Analysis: What happens to the unreimbursed care. Either the hospitals must
figure out a new way to cover the costs,or they must deny care.The only other option
is to suffer thelossesincur redbyunreimbursedcare.
Q: Is this the point to look at since the stimulus says almost all patients have taken up an insurance. Which leaves the possibility for the few others to still seek unreimbursed care. Hence the importance given to what happens to unreimbursed care?
Pls confirm
