Health Insurance in the U.S. Is Getting More Expensive

本站:Dec 3, 2025原文:Nov 25, 2025

míng nián明年，měi guó美国dà yuē大约yǒu有wǔ bǎi wàn五百万rén人mǎi bù qǐ买不起yī liáo bǎo xiǎn医疗保险。

Next year, about five million people in the U.S. won't be able to afford health insurance.

wǒ我yě也shì是qí zhōng其中zhī yī之一。

I am one of them.

wǒ我de的jiā tíng家庭bǎo xiǎn保险měi yuè每月yào要2600měi yuán美元，wǒ men我们gēn běn根本fù付bù不qǐ起。

My family insurance costs $2,600 a month, which we simply cannot afford.

xiàn zài现在，wǒ我hé和hěn很duō多rén人yī yàng一样，méi yǒu没有bǎo xiǎn保险。

Now, like many others, I have no insurance.

méi yǒu没有bǎo xiǎn保险ràng让wǒ我hěn很dān xīn担心，yīn wèi因为kàn bìng看病huì会hěn很guì贵，ér qiě而且wǒ我jiā lǐ家里yǒu rén有人dé得guò过rǔ xiàn ái乳腺癌。

Not having insurance worries me because medical care is expensive, and someone in my family has had breast cancer.

wǒ men我们zhǐ néng只能gěi给jiā lǐ家里sì四gè个rén人zhōng中de的liǎng两gè个rén人mǎi买bǎo xiǎn保险，zhè这ràng让wǒ men我们hěn很nán难xuǎn zé选择。

We can only buy insurance for two out of four family members, which makes it hard to choose.

měi guó美国zhèng fǔ政府měi nián每年huā花hěn很duō多qián钱mǎi买wǔ qì武器hé和dǎ zhàng打仗，dàn但què却bù不yuàn yì愿意duō多huā qián花钱bāng zhù帮助rén men人们mǎi买bǎo xiǎn保险。

The U.S. government spends a lot of money every year on weapons and wars but is unwilling to spend more to help people buy insurance.

qí shí其实，gěi给dà jiā大家mǎi买bǎo xiǎn保险de的qián钱bǐ比mǎi买yī一sōu艘jūn jiàn军舰de的qián钱hái还shǎo少。

Actually, the money to buy insurance for everyone is less than the cost of one warship.

hěn很duō多jiā tíng家庭yīn wèi因为mǎi bù qǐ买不起bǎo xiǎn保险ér而hěn很nán难shēng huó生活。

Many families struggle to live because they cannot afford insurance.

wǒ men我们xī wàng希望zhèng fǔ政府néng能duō多guān xīn关心rén men人们de的jiàn kāng健康，ér而bú shì不是zhǐ只guān xīn关心zhàn zhēng战争。

We hope the government cares more about people's health instead of only focusing on war.
