医疗保险 Medical Insurance

做手术的时候花了一大笔钱,平时交的医疗保险在这时候就派上用场了。出院后,我就找医院要求报销医疗费用不在保险范围内,可让我大吃一惊的是,医院说我这次医疗的费用不在保险范围内。难道以前交的保险都打水漂了?是不是搞错了?我得赶紧找保险公司核实一下。

口语大放送

·My insurance might cover all of my hospital bills. I need to check. 我的保险可能包括所有的住院费用,我要确认一下。

文化穿越

美国的医疗费用极其昂贵,看病的费用高得惊人,大部分美国人都未雨绸缪,为自己和家人购买了医疗保险。美国的医疗保险体制分为公私两大块,大部分美国人参加由商业保险公司提供的私人医疗保险,少部分美国人(包括社会特殊群体和社会弱势群体)参加由政府提供的社会医疗保险。一般人可能会认为,美国穷人没有医疗保险,富人才有。穷人看不起病,就只有等死。其实在美国,各大医院都有一部分钱专门用来支付没有保险的人的紧急医疗费用。更好笑的是,他们不会问你是哪里来的人,只要你没有医疗保险,你就能接受免费紧急治疗。此外,美国也有针对留学生的医疗保险,其中有一家叫做ISO(http: // www.isoa.org)的保险公司,其为国际留学生设计的医疗体系很不错,很多国际留学生也都会买这个险种。它是根据年龄段来划分交钱额度的,最便宜的大概是每月30多美元,与同类保险相比,其性价比较高。 kZPEgDNz1C9GnDNkuq5l0NcE6nWllR7PtwVguS7oyeJRu831tYjxyvbFjpjlw/Gp
