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.
