外教讲解地道美语 第158期:谈论医疗保险

A: Hey honey, how was your day?

B: It was alright. I ran into Bill and we got to talking for a while. He’s in a bit of a jam.

A: Why? What happened?

B: 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.

A: Yeah, you’re right. We aren’t getting any younger and our kids are getting older.

B: 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.

A:Sounds good, although, do you think we can qualify for insurance? Those insurance companies are real pirates when it comes to money.

B:Well, we don’t have any pre-existing illnesses or conditions, so we should be fine.

A: I wish our company or country provided us with healthcare.

B:Not in a million years!
