Direction (81-90): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
given below it. Certain word/ phrases are printed in bold to help you locate them
while answering some of the questions.
Most of the world's healthcare is financed directly by governments, but private
insurance, which now makes up nearly a fifth of the total. Looks set for a state sponsored
boom in the hope of solving problems in national systems of helthcare which
include inadequate access to care and soaring costs.
In most countries state financed healthcare is not available to all. So governments
want private insurance to be expanded to cover everyone. The most prominent
effort is underway in America, where about 47 million lack health insurance of any
kind. This effort is similar to reforms undertaken over the past decade in the
Netherlands and Switzerland. To ensure equitable access, both countries forbid private
insurers from discriminating against, applicants because they are in poor health or at
high risk of falling ill. This practice is known as "lemon dropping'' A lightly regulated
expansion of private insurance in effect turning health insurance into a utility - can
thus expand coverage. This is also likely be true in developing countries. Whose public
health care systems are often hopelessly over stretched and under funded, although
because poor countries cannot afford the subsides and regulatory mechanism of the
rich world, coverage is likely be confined to the better off.
The second reason why government have turned to private insurance is cost
control. The hope was that by ruthlessly tackling costs and promoting efficiency, market-
minded insurers would help rein in runaway health inflation where, governments
could not. Whatever the role played in a health system, private health-insurance has
added to total health expences. It is no coincidence, that the countries with the biggest
private health-insurance sectors-America, France, Germany and Switzerland - also
have some of the highest healthcare costs per person.
There are several explanations for this. Because a third party pays the bill, the
true cost of health services is rarely made clear to them. Nor is the true price of insurance,
especially if coverage is provided through an employer. This encourages overinsurance
and over-consumption of healthcare. Another incentive problem also arises
from lack of transparent pricing. Studies have shown that the fees for similar procedures
vary widely among hospitals in the same area. Because hospitals and doctors
both decide on the services patients must have and dictate the price of those services,
they often enjoy a powerful information advantage over insurers. Thus doctors and
hospitals have an informational advantage and an incentive to over supply their services.
81. Why do governments look to private insurers to reduce inflation in the healthcare
system?
A) Private health insurance companies are professionally managed.
B) It is in the interest of the private insurers to do so.

2) Constant government interference in the system.
3) Healthcare facilities are insufficient and often made available only to the rich.
4) Subsidising healthcare has resulted in many hospitals becoming loss making.
5) Profitable hospitals are forced to bail out loss making ones.
83. Which of the following is TRUE about private health insurance?
A) According to prevailing laws, private health insurers can cater to only 20
percent of the population.
B) In western countries private health insurance is unregulated by the government.
C) Most governments are now encouraging the participation of private companies
in providing healthcare.
1) Only A and C 2) Only C 3) Only A and B
4) All A, B and C 5) None of these
84. What does the phrase 'over consumption of healthcare' convey in the context
of the passage?
