But nowhere has a bigger health problem than America. Soaring medical bills are squeezing wages, swelling the ranks of the uninsured and pushing huge firms and perhaps even the government towards bankruptcy. Ford's announcement this week that it would cut up to 30,000 jobs by 2012 was as much a sign of its "legacy" health-care costs as of the ills of the car industry. Pushed by polls that show health care is one of his main domestic problems and by forecasts showing that the retiring baby-boomers will crush the government's finances, George Bush is expected to unveil a reform. plan in next week's state-of-the-union address.
America's health system is unlike any other. The United States spends 16% of its GDP on health, around twice the rich-country average, equivalent to $ 6,280 for every American each year. Yet it is the only rich country that does not guarantee universal health coverage. Thanks to an accident of history, most Americans receive health insurance through their employer, with the government picking up the bill for the poor and the elderly.
This curious hybrid certainly has its strengths. Americans have more choice than anybody else, and their health-care system is much more innovative. Europeans' bills could be much higher if American medicine were not doing much of their Research and Development (R&D) for them. But there are also huge weaknesses. The one most often cited—especially by foreigners—is the army of uninsured. Some 46 million Americans do not have cover. In many cases that is out of choice and, if they fall seriously ill, hospitals have to treat them. But it is still deeply unequal. And there are also shocking inefficiencies: by some measures, 30% of American health spending is wasted.
Then there is the question of state support. Many Americans disapprove of the "so-cialized medicine" of Canada and Europe. In fact, even if much of the administration is done privately, around 60% of America's health-care bill ends up being met by the government. Proportionately, the American state already spends as much on health as the OECD (Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development) average, and that share is set to grow as the baby-boomers run up their Medicare bills and ever more employers avoid providing health-care coverage. America is, in effect, heading towards a version of socialized medicine by default.

A.poor hospital conditions in U. K
B.Angela Merkel under attack
C.health financing in Germany
D.long waiting lines in Canada
根据下列文章,请回答 36~40 题。 A New Cause of Suffering
A conference on obesity(肥胖症)was recently held in Vienna.Two thousand experts from more than fifty countries attended the conference.According to statistics.1.2 billion people worldwide are overweight,and 250 million are too fat.Obesity is rapidly becoming a new cause of suffering.
Professor Friedrich Hopichler of Salzberg said:“We are living in the new age but with the metabolism(新陈代谢)of a stone-age man.1 have just been to the United States.It is really terrible.A pizza(比萨饼)shop is appearing on every corner.We have been occupied by fast food and Coca-Cola-ization.”
Many of the experts stressed that obesity was a potential killer.Hopichler said:“Eighty per cent of all diabetics(糖尿病人)are too fat,also fifty per cent of all patients with high blood pressure and fifty per cent with fatty tissue complaints.Ten per cent more weight means thirteen per cent more risk of heart disease.Reducing one’s weight by ten per cent leads to thirteen per cent lower blood pressure.”
Another expert Hermann Toplak said that the state health services should improve their financing of preventive programs.“The health insurance pays for surgery(such as reducing the size of the stomach)when the body-mass index(身体质量指数)is more than 40.That is equivalent to a weight of 116 kilograms for a height of 1.60 meters.One should start earlier.”
Toplak said that prevention should begin in school.“Child obesity has a close relation with the time which children spend in front of T V sets.”

Obesity is rapidly becoming anew scourge of the western world, delegates agreed at the llth Eu-ropeanConference on the issue in ViennaWednesday to Saturday. According to statements before the opening of theconference-of 2, 000 specialists from more than 50 countries-l. 2 billionpeople worldwide are overweight, and 250 million are obese.
Professor Bernhard Ludvik of Vienna General Hospital said: "Obesity is achronic illness. In Ger- many. 20 percent of the people are already affected,but in Japan only one percent. " But he said that there was hope forsufferers thanks to the new scientific discoveries and medication.
Professor Friedrich Hopichlerof Salzberg said: "We are living in the new age (but) with the me-tabolism of a stone-age man. " "I have just been to theUnited States.It is really terrible. A pizza shop is springing up on every corner. We havebeen overrun by fast food and Coca-Cola-ization. "
Many of the experts stressedthat obesity was a potential killer. Hopichler said: "80 percent of alldiabetics are obese, als0 50 percent of all patients with high blood pressureand 50 percent with adi- pose tissue complaints. " "10 percent more weightmeans 13 percent more risk of heart disease. Reduc- ing one's weight by 10percent leads t0 13 percent lower blood pressure. "
Another expert HermannToplak said that the state health services should improve their financing ofpreventive programs. "Though the health insurance pays for surgery (suchas reducing the size of the stomach) when the body-mass index is more than 40.That is equivalent to a weight of 116 kilo- grams for a height of l. 70 meters.One should start earlier. "
Ludvik said that preventionshould begin in school. "Child obesity (fat deposits) correlates with the time which children spend in front of TVsets. "
The consequences were onlyapparent later on. No more than 15 percent of obese people lived to the averagelife expectancy for their population group.
