Answer:

A deductible is the amount you pay for health care services before your health insurance begins to pay. The deductible in the HMO Plan will pay the full charges once you have reached the total deductible. You will start paying less, with a copay or coinsurance, depending on the selected plan. When the limit is reached, you share the cost with your plan by paying coinsurance.

Coinsurance is a percentage of a medical charge that you pay, with the rest paid by your health insurance plan, that typically applies after your deductible has been met. Let's say your health insurance plan's allowed amount for an office visit is $50 and your coinsurance is 20%. All you have to pay is the 20% and your coinsurance will pay the rest.

A health insurance copayment is a fixed amount a healthcare beneficiary pays for covered medical services. The rest of the balance is paid for by the person's insurance company. Copays for standard doctor visits are typically lower than those for specialists.

The passage suggests that if a news commentator presented an editorial agreeing with the Huxleyan warning, many viewers would:

Anna [14]

Answer:

A) Take whatever action was necessary to combat the danger.

This response would be more likely in the case of an Orwellian culture, which the author states is like "a prison" and "much easier to recognize, and oppose than a Huxleyan [world]."

B) Listen carefully to the commentator and then explain the ideas to others.

The passage suggests the opposite response: "Huxley believed that we are in a race between education and disaster, and he wrote continuously about the necessity of our understanding the politics and epistemology of media, he was trying to tell us that what afflicted people in <em>Brave New World</em> was not that they were laughing instead of thinking."

C) charge that the commentator was irrational or needlessly alarming viewers.

The passage suggests that the commentator would invite this charge: "Those who speak about this matter must often raise their voices to a near hysterical pitch, inviting the charge that they are everything from wimps to public nuisances to Jeremiahs."

D) Be receptive to learning more about the danger.

The viewers would be unreceptive to learning about the danger, because, according to the author, this world would appear benign.
