HW2: Rewrite Gene’s final paragraph.



HW2:   Rewrite Gene’s final paragraph.
Gene’s version:
As the tables show, in non-profit hospitals the effect was relativey minor, whereas in for-profit contexts cost increases were considerable. In the latter case, the reduced co-payments apparently gave rise to a noticeable increase in the number of tests ordered by the physicians. These findings support other studies which show that cost containment may prove very difficult in a “free market” medical economy.
  
Rewrited version:
As the tables show, non-profit hospitals had less effect than for-profit contexts did. In the latter case, the physicians ordered a number of tests were striking causes of the increase of the reduced co-payments. Moreover, high payments were absolutely required for those received in an emergency department. These findings support other studies which indicate that cost containment may not so easy to prove in a “free market” medical economy.
