1--Hey honey, how was your day?
2--It was alright. I ran into Bill and we got to talking for a while. He’s in a bit of a jam.
1--Why? What happened?
2--Well, his son had an accident and Bill doesn’t have health insurance. This really got me thinking, and I wondered if we shouldn’t look into a couple of different HMO’s.
1--Yeah, you’re right. We aren’t getting any younger and our kids are getting older.
2--Exactly! I searched on the web and found a couple of HMO’s with low co-pays and good coverage. The deductibles are low, too.
1--Sounds good, although, do you think we can qualify for insurance? Those insurance companies are real pirates when it comes to money.
2--Well, we don’t have any pre-existing illnesses or conditions, so we should be fine.
1--I wish our company or country provided us with healthcare.
2--Not in a million years!

譯文:
1--親愛的,今天過得如何?
2--還行。我碰見比爾了,我們說了會兒話。他現(xiàn)在有些困難。
1--為什么?發(fā)生什么事了?
2--他兒子出了車禍,但是比爾沒有醫(yī)療保險。這使我思考我們是不是應(yīng)該調(diào)查下不同的醫(yī)保組織。
1--你說得對。我們不再年輕,孩子也在變老。
2--是啊,我在網(wǎng)上搜索了,找到了2家保健組織,它們的醫(yī)療費很低而且保險項目很好??鄢龡l款也很低。
1--聽起來不錯,但是你認(rèn)為我們適合保險嗎?這些保險公司一旦涉及到錢就十分貪婪。
2--我們沒有先天性的疾病和癥狀,所以應(yīng)該適合保險。
1--我希望我們的公司或是單位能為我們提供醫(yī)保。
2--一百萬年內(nèi)都別指望了。
