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.

逻辑题，问的是一下那个选项可以支持作者的观点：intervening on the supply side of health care
那么这是作者提出的对于很多美国公司的做法的替换方案。那么可以加强作者做法的要么是这个替换方案本身的好处可以支持，要么是之前那个做法的不好的地方，新方案可以避免，从这两个方向可以去做。
第一：本方案的好处在第二段最后两句：增长士气；控制医疗支出的同时，可以扩大医疗服务
第二：之前的做法的不好的地方：有害员工健康；有害老子关系
选项A 没有足够的员工使这个计划cost-effective  削弱
选项B 子项矛盾，有了on-site又让员工 going outside the company's system to obtain health care.
选项C 这个计划花费更大 削弱
选项D 员工不愿意控制花费 削弱
选项E 有利于员工健康，正确
