Treament for hypertension forestalls certain medical expenses by preventing strokes and heart disease.Yet any money so saved amounts to only one-fourth of the expendituires required to treat the hypertensive population. Therefore, there is no economic justification for preventive treament for hypertension.
Which of the following, if true, is most damaging to the conclusion above?
A) The many fatal strokes and heart attacks resulting from untreated hypertension cause insignificant medical expenditures but large economic losses of other sorts.
B) The cost, per patient, of preventive treatment for hypertension would remain constant even if such treatment were instituted on a large scale.
C) In matters of health care, economic considerations should ideally not be dominant.
D)Effective prevention presupposes early diagnosis, and programs to ensure early diagnosis are costly.
E) The net savings in medical resources achieved by some preventive health measures are smaller than the net losses attributable to certain other measures of this kind.
虽然选对(因为其他答案更不好),但是其实还有疑问, 至于A,说untreated hypertention引起医疗费用不多,但是other sorts 会发生大量的经济损失. untreated费用不多,不代表treated的费用就多啊....还有这里other sorts是什么意思,其他的疾病种类??不是跟E有的other measures of this kind,同性质么?无关...
两个疑问搞不清楚!!!!高手...指教!! |
