Cheap Hospital Insurance
廉價的醫療保險
He opened the envelope. It contained junk mail. The junk mail was an ad. It was an ad for hospital insurance. Did he want extra hospital insurance? He didn't have any hospital insurance. Did he want extra money to help pay hospital bills? Yes, he thought, extra money would be nice. He read on. The ad said the average hospital stay in New York is seven days. It said the average cost per day in New York is $3,000. I should move to a cheaper state, he thought. But he couldn't afford to move. He read on. It said the insurance was only $15 a month. That's cheap, he thought. It said the insurance pays $50 a day. He laughed. My hospital bill will be $3,000 a day. My extra insurance will pay $50 a day. What good is that, he thought. What good is $50 a day?
他打開了信封。里面有一封垃圾郵件。這封垃圾郵件是一則廣告。廣告是關于醫療保險的。他是否希望擁有醫療保險？他并沒有醫療保險。他是否需要額外資金來幫助他支付醫療費用？他想是的，額外資金很不錯。他讀了起來。廣告稱紐約醫院病患的平均住院天數為7天。在紐約，每天的平均開銷是3000美金。他想他應該搬到消費水平不高的大州。但是他沒錢搬家。他又繼續往下讀。廣告稱這份保險每個月僅為15美金。他想這很便宜。廣告還說每天的保險為50美金。他笑了起來。我每天的醫療費用為3000美金。我的保險每天會支付50美金。他想這有什么用。每天50美金有什么用？
