4. The correct answer is D.

The passage states that health savings accounts will undermine the

health of the public because people will not use them for preventive

care. Furthermore, people who cannot afford them will not be able

to receive even basic care such as vaccinations. We are asked to

draw a conclusion based on this information.

Choice A states that wealthy individuals will not be affected

negatively by the accounts. We do not have enough information to

draw this conclusion. Incorrect.

Choice B states that private health insurance will no longer be

available. The passage does not offer information that would justify

this choice. Incorrect.

Choice C states that most diseases are detected during regular

preventive examinations. We do not have enough information to

justify this choice. Incorrect.

Choice D states that some people without the accounts are likely to

contract infectious diseases. This conclusion can be drawn from the

fact that people without the accounts will not receive vaccinations

against infectious diseases and this will result in a threat to the

public's health. Correct.

Choice E states that the causal relationship between a person's

health and medical care has been adequately documented. The

passage does not offer any information on this subject. Incorrect.
