Dr. Schilling: Those who advocate replacing my country's private health insurance system with nationalized health insurance because of the rising costs of medical care fail to consider the high human costs that consumers pay in countries with nationalized insurance: access to high-technology medicine is restricted and kidney transplants and open-heart surgery is rationed. People are denied their right to treatments they want and need.
Dr. Laforte: Your country's reliance on private health insurance denies access even to basic, conventional medicine to the many people who cannot afford adequate health coverage. With nationalized insurance, rich and poor have equal access to life-saving medical procedures, and people's right to decent medical treatment regardless of income is not violated.
Dr. Schilling's and Dr. Laforte's statements provide the most support for holding that they would disagree about the truth of which one of the following?
(A) People's rights are violated less when they are denied an available medical treatment they need because they lack the means to pay for it than when they are denied such treatment on noneconomic grounds.
(B) Where health insurance is provided by private insurance companies, people who are wealthy generally receive better health care than do people who are unable to afford health insurance.
(C) In countries that rely primarily on private health insurance to pay for medical costs, most people who would benefit from a kidney transplant receive one.
(D) In countries with nationalized health insurance, no one who needs a familiar medical treatment in order to stay alive is denied that treatment.
(E) Anyone who wants a particular medical treatment has a right to receive that treatment.

Issue is on which option both will disagree:
Argument Dr S: Though pvt med insurance is costly, in nationalized one people who suffer from some ailments are denied such services
Dr L : In pvt insurance, those who dont have money are denied even basic medicines, nationalized one provides equal oppurtunity on basic services;
IMO E : Dr S will say, you need to pay boss, Dr L will say I do not care beyond basic need, you go to hell if you need more.

On rethought, I think E can be considered OOS, as we do not know what happens to those arguments which are outsight the purview of either of the insurance. Barring E, I will bet on A as other choices are having following flaw:
B: Dr L will likely agree.
C: Dr S will likely agree
D: *familiar* we do not know what is familiar in given context.
B: Dr L will likely agree.
C: Dr S will likely agree

The Reply was rather unconventional and not what we get to see usually.IMO E : Dr S will say, you need to pay boss, Dr L will say I do not care beyond basic need, you go to hell if you need more.
This was what triggered me off and my response was just a response .

IMO D.
The point of contention between the two is that Under private HI, cost is high but access to medical treatment is possible. In NHI, services are rationed as equal access exist. Other view is that private HI even denies basic health care basis income.
Whats the OA??
thanx

wouldnt schilling disagree with A beacuse he is not in favour of Public Medicaid since access to Complex / high tech Medicine will be denied to patients because of non economic reasons . Therefore he attaches a lot of importance to Uniform access to Medicine for allTestluv wrote:Dr. Schilling: We should stay with private (not national) healthcare because national healtchare infringes peoples' rights--access to high-tech medications and transplants is restricted (under national health insurance).HSPA wrote:The stem is easy to comprehend but the question is real tough.
