For several years, per capita expenditure on prescription drugs in Voronia rose by fifteen percent or more annually. In order to curb these dramatic increases, the ministry of health prohibited drug manufacturers from raising any of their products' prices. Even though use of prescription drugs did not expand after this price freeze, per capita expenditure for prescription drugs continued to increase by a substantial percentage each year.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain why the ministry's action did not achieve its goal?
After price increases were prohibited, drug manufacturers concentrated on producing new medications to replace existing products.
The population of Voronia rose steadily throughout the period.
Improvements in manufacturing processes enabled drug manufacturers to maintain high profit levels on drugs despite the price freeze.
In addition to imposing a price freeze, the government encouraged doctors to prescribe generic versions of common drugs instead of the more expensive brand-name versions.
After price increases were prohibited, some foreign manufacturers of expensive drugs ceased marketing them in Voronia.
A.政府限制的是在原来的价格基础上提价。制造商开发新药的话直接就定一个很高的价格,发行价就很高,根本不用提价。这并不会被政府的规定所限制。
C.谈的主要是药商的利润。但这里说的是每资本药的开销。即是说,消费者花钱买药越来越贵。与利润无关。
manufator produced new medicine, then the total amount of the appoint medicine decreased, with the same demand, the supply decrease will result in the price increase.

raising any of their products在药品的价格上提价,a开发新药,直接标高价,方案无效。(坑爹的题)
感觉D的话,是说政府还采取了别的措施吧,其实和impose a price freeze是同一类事?没有说其影响吧
错选C
开发新药就可以直接定高价了。A是符合常识的选项,不要排斥常识。
(A) 价格上升禁止后,药商关注用新药代替现有品种;新药不受限制直接卖高价,导致处方药花费上升
the reason why (a) is correct is that new drugs are not subject to the price controls (since there is no current price at which they can be frozen - the price controls only apply to drugs that already have a price). therefore, these new drugs could indeed account for increased costs, even if consumers are not purchasing any more drugs than they did before.
这道题目选择的时候也是心慌慌,理论上新药推出定价提高虽然是常识,但是通常不敢选啊。。。
关键还是看其他四个都不好
B是总人数上升和per capita没有必然关系。
C可以使无关也可以是加强政府的成功率,和降低成功率没关系
D也是一个问题
E外国高端药不做这块市场了那应该平均定价下降,而非上升。
为什么A对。题目不是说the ministry of health prohibited drug manufacturers from raising any of their products' prices。 都已经禁止提高制造商任何产品的价格,那么再生产出的新药不是也包括在制造商生产任何的产品中吗?

开发新药就可以直接定高价了。
看起来觉得没有正确答案啊。这个是方案推理吗?难道a是副作用?生产其他替代药,然后把药价定的高高的??
