During
the last six years, the number of practicing physicians has increased by
about 20%. During the same time period, the number of healthcare managers has
increased by more than 600%. These percentages mean that many doctors have
lost the authority to make their own schedules, determine the fees that they
charge, and decide on prescribed treatments.
This paragraph best supports the statement that doctors
|
|
|
resent the interference
of healthcare managers.
|
|
|
no longer have adequate
training.
|
|
|
care a great deal about
their patients.
|
|
|
are less independent
than they used to be.
|
|
|
are making a lot less
money than they used to make.
|

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The author of this statement suggests that
doctors are less independent. The author stresses that many doctors have lost
authority. There is no support for the opinion that doctors resent the
healthcare managers, however which rules out choice a. The doctors training is
never mentioned (choice b). Doctors may care about their patients (choice c),
but this information is not part of the paragraph. Choice e is not mentioned.
