But the Americans are in a mess. The problem is the way in which health care is organized and financed. Contrary to public belief, it is not just a free competition system. To the private system has been joined a large public system, because private care was simply not looking after the less fortunate and the elderly.
But even with this huge public part of the system, which this year will eat up 84.5 billion dollars—more than 10 percent of the U.S. budget—large numbers of Americans are left out. These include about half the 11 million unemployed and those who fail to meet the strict limits on income fixed by a government trying to make savings where it can.
The basic problem, however, is that there is no central control over the health system. There is no limit to what doctors and hospitals charge for their services, other than what the public is able to pay. The number of doctors has shot up and prices have climbed. When faced with toothache, a sick child, or a heart attack, all the unfortunate person concerned can do is pay up.
Two-thirds of the population are covered by medical insurance. Doctors charge as much as they want knowing that the insurance company will pay the bill.
The medical profession has as a result become America's new big businessmen. The average income of doctors has now reached $100,000 a year. With such vast incomes the talk in the doctor's surgery is as likely to be about the doctor's latest financial deal, as about whether the minor operation he is recommending at several thousand dollars is entirely necessary.
The rising cost of medicine in the U.S.A. is among the most worrying problem facing the country. In 1981 the country's health cost climbed 15.9 percent—about twice as fast as prices in general.
In the U.S. patients can expect, in medical treatment, ______.
A.occasional mistakes by careless doctors
B.a great deal of personal attention
C.low charge by doctors and hospitals
D.stacking nurses and bad services

The Truth of American Health Care
Most people would be impressed by the high quality of medicine available to most Americans.
There is a lot of specialization, a great deal of attention to the individual, a vast amount of advanced technical equipment, and intense effort not to make mistakes because of the financial risk which doctors and hospitals must face in the courts if they handle things badly.

Almost immediately, he told me, a request was delivered from people who liked it better the old way. "They collected 750 signatures against the change," he recalled, "so I said OK, I'll put it back." He put it back. Another request arrived. This one carried 1,500 names of angry residents protesting the reversion (复原); they had liked it better the new way.
"Were some of the names the same?" I asked, joking.
He shrugged. "Sure," he replied.
Venice. The mere name makes people think of its astonishing 1,500 years, an incomparable heritage of art, polities, and commerce. Ten million visitors a year arrive to wonder at the remains of its glory, the architecture and paintings, and to be seduced (诱使) by the dreamlike charm of a place that seems to exist somehow apart from real life, a kind of baroque (巴罗克式的) style, floating in mist and shadow, entranced by the continual murmur of the water as it never get tired of kissing the stones.
But Venice is not a dream. In these days it is facing more than its share of reality. In fact, as the event of the bus requests demonstrated yet again, Venice at heart is a classic small town, trapped in the body of a monument.
To begin with, Venice actually is small. You could walk from one end to the other in an hour. And you will walk, because the streets are usually the size of an average sidewalk, or less. Walking, as much as the surrounding water, dictates the shape of Venetian life: the reasonable pace, the sudden street corner encounters with friends, the pause to talk. Among the many things the Venetians love about their town—no ears, virtually no crime—this intimacy is the best. They like to say their city is like a living room.
Is Venice still sinking? This is the question everybody outside Venice seems to ask. In a word, yes, though the rate has slowed, mainly because the pumping of groundwater for industries on the mainland has been stopped.
