美國新醫(yī)保法案——The New Health Care Bill in America
Anny: There are a lot of rumors going around about the new health care bill in America.
Sam: Yes, many are saying that it's some form of universal health care, where the government is raising taxes to pay for everyone's health care.
Anny: I heard that too.
Sam: But that's actually not true. My American friend told me that the new law requires every person to buy health insurance.
Anny: Really? What if a person doesn't?
Sam: Then he or she will need to pay a fine.
Anny: I think that's a good idea. Medical insurance in America is so expensive because many people without insurance have large hospital bills.
Sam: Right, it's such a bad thing.
安妮：關(guān)于美國新醫(yī)療保險的流言滿天飛。
山姆：是啊，許多人都說那是某種全民醫(yī)療的模式，政府通過高征稅來支付每個人的醫(yī)療保健。
安妮：我也聽說了。
山姆：但實際上這并不是真的。我的美國朋友告訴我新法案要求每個人購買醫(yī)療保險。
安妮：真的嗎？假如有的人不買呢？
山姆：那么他或她就要交罰款。
安妮：我覺得這是個好主意。在美國，醫(yī)療保險特別貴，因為許多沒有保險的人要支付大量的醫(yī)療賬單。
山姆：是的，這是件糟糕的事。
