What is not straightforward is how to address the imminent explosion of health-care costs. In fact, projections of rapidly rising Medicare and Medicaid spending in the US – and similarly rapidly-rising governmental health care expenditures elsewhere in the developed world – are not so such a problem to be solved as the side effects of an opportunity to be grasped.
但处理迫在眉睫的医疗保健开支飙升的问题就没那么简单了。实际上，预期中美国医疗保险和医疗补助开支的快速攀升¾以及其它发达国家政府医疗保健开支的急速攀升¾与其说是个急待解决的问题，还不如说是利用机会所产生的负作用。
