Passage I
American health care is unique among advanced countries in its heavy reliance on the private
sector. It's also uniquely inefficient. We spend far more per person on health care than any other
country, yet many Americans lack health insurance and don't receive essential care. A yet
another example of just how bad the American system does at providing basic health care is - a
study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation estimates that 20 million working Americans are
uninsured; in Texas, which has the worst record, more than 30 percent of the adults under 65
have no insurance. And lack of insurance leads to inadequate medical attention.
Our system is desperately in need of reform. Yet it will be very hard to get useful reform, for two
reasons: vested interests and ideology. A lot of big companies are essentially in the business of
wasting health care resources. The most striking inefficiency of our health system is our huge
medical bureaucracy, which is mainly occupied in trying to get someone else to pay the bills. A
good guess is that two million to three million Americans are employed by insurers and health
care providers not to deliver health care, but to pass the buck to other people.
Yet any effort to reduce this waste would hurt powerful, well-organized interests, which have
already demonstrated their power to block reform. But vested interests aren't the only obstacle to
fixing our health care system. We also have a big problem with ideology. America is ruled by
conservatives, and they have a private obsession: they believe that more privatization, not less, is
always the answer. And their faith persists even when the evidence clearly points to a private
sector gone bad.
A particularly good illustration of ideology-induced obliviousness is the 2004 Economic Report of
the President, which devotes a whole chapter to health care that can be read as a sort of
conservative manifesto on the subject. The main message of that report is that U.S. health care is
doing just fine. Never mind the huge expense, the low life expectancy, the high infant mortality;
it's a market-based system, so it must be good.
The president's economists had only one criticism of the system: insurance is too comprehensive,
which encourages people to consume too much health care. As they see it, insurance covers too
large a percentage of medical costs. The answer to this problem is the creation of private
accounts, which have now superseded tax cuts as the answer to all problems.
But, President Bush didn't cause the crisis in American health care. His health care policies have
made things only a little bit worse. But, the point, instead, is that even though all the evidence
suggests that we would be much better off under a system of universal coverage, any such move
will be fiercely opposed, on principle, by conservatives who want us to move in the opposite
direction. And reform will also be opposed by powerful vested interests.

poorer player than R. Y is the third best player in state B. Z is the second best player in G.

We can also make the following markings:
R
M
Q
Y
P

(3) There are three players better than M in A itself. In addition, as R and Q are better players
than P, they are better players than M, too. So totally we have noted five players who are better
than M. There may be more, but at least these five are better than M. Hence the answer is (3).
