Many United States companies believe that the rising cost of employees' health care benefits has hurt the country's competitive position in the global market by raising production costs and thus increasing the prices of exported and domestically sold goods. As a result, these companies have shifted health care costs to employees in the form of wage deductions or high deductibles. This strategy, however, has actually hindered companies' competitiveness. For example, cost shifting threatens employees' health because many do not seek preventive screening. Also, labor relations have been damaged: the percentage of strikes in which health benefits were a major issue rose from 18 percent in 1986 to 78 percent in 1989.

Health care costs can be managed more effectively if companies intervene in the supply side of health care delivery just as they do with other key suppliers: strategies used to procure components necessary for production would work in procuring health care. For example, the make/buy decision--the decision whether to produce or purchase parts used in making a product--can be applied to health care. At one company, for example, employees receive health care at an on-site clinic maintained by the company. The clinic fosters morale, resulting in a low rate of employees leaving the company. Additionally, the company has constrained the growth of health care costs while expanding medical services.

关键词managing health care costs in an effective manner 定位到第二段第一句
选项A Educating employees to use health care wisely回文内容未提及  the best way绝对词
选项B select health care programs 未提及 the most effective means绝对词
选项C  pass rising health care costs on to employees回文内容未提及
选项D 正确
选项E by reducing the extent of medical coverage 回文内容未提及/与文章内容不符，文章说的是strategies used to procure components necessary for production would work in procuring health care. 而且运用了这个策略之后，是扩大了医疗服务，而不是reducing the extent of medical coverage
