Health Care
1. By law, health care is available to those without any
money or insurance. States, counties, and cities all run or
support hospitals, mental institutions, retirement homes and
shelters for the homeless. Again, the quality of care varies with
the state, county, and community. Some spend a great deal,
others the bare minimum. Universities and similar institutions
also often support and staff free health and dental clinics. Most
large universities sponsor free legal aid clinics that provide
legal assistance and advise for a token fee.
2. What makes the U.S. different from many other countries
is the degree to which payments for health, retirement, and even
housing come from private sources. Workers in industry and
white-collar employees expect health insurance agreements for
them and their families, benefits, and pensions as part of their
contracts. Companies and employers often pay a large part of
these benefits.
3. Many unions offer unemployment benefits to their
members, supplementing governmental sources. Some unions
also have their own retirement plans and several even own and
manage retirement communities. When employees strike,
therefore, they often ask for “fringe” benefits, better retirement
payments, better or fuller medical care, and so on. Similarly,
when an individual is considering working for a business or
even a city or state government, or changing jobs, some of the
most important considerations are, for example, retirement
benefits, family health and dental plans, or life insurance. In
many cases the benefits Americans receive from such sources
exceed those from the governmental programs available to
everybody.
4. Still there are many individuals who have never worked,
or have never been able to, or who have remained unemployed
for long periods. These people are forced to rely on the basic
governmental programs and no one who has to do so can live
comfortably.
II. а) Read the following sentences and point out the numbers of
the sentences which correspond to the content of the text.
b) Correct sentences with the wrong information and rewrite.
