Cheap Hospital Insurance

廉价的医疗保险

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?

他打开了信封。里面有一封垃圾邮件。这封垃圾邮件是一则广告。广告是关于医疗保险的。他是否希望拥有医疗保险？他并没有医疗保险。他是否需要额外资金来帮助他支付医疗费用？他想是的，额外资金很不错。他读了起来。广告称纽约医院病患的平均住院天数为7天。在纽约，每天的平均开销是3000美金。他想他应该搬到消费水平不高的大州。但是他没钱搬家。他又继续往下读。广告称这份保险每个月仅为15美金。他想这很便宜。广告还说每天的保险为50美金。他笑了起来。我每天的医疗费用为3000美金。我的保险每天会支付50美金。他想这有什么用。每天50美金有什么用？
