1) A social policy that might reduce costs and help get doctors to the poor, where they are needed the most, would be to overproduce physicians. (2) The government could encourage the opening of new medical schools. (3) It could either finance them, or, if the schools are turned over to investors, offer tax breaks. (4) I suggest that we modify a system that Mexico has. (5) In return for spending a specified amount of time in areas where there is a doctor shortage, students could go to college and medical school free of charge. (6) They would also be paid a monthly salary. (7) I suggest that new physicians be required to give four years back for the eight that they spend in college and medical training. (8) These graduates would not be given their final certification until they have completed those four years. (9) During these years of service, the government would pay for their medical malpractice insurance and pay them a salary equal to the average U. S. wage. (10) Not only would such a program help to get doctors to the areas where the need is the greatest, but it would also increase competition among doctors. (11) Currently, the American Medical Association stifles competition by limiting the number of medical graduates. (12) If more doctors graduated, patients would have a greater choice of physicians. (13) As competition among doctors grew, doctors would likely reduce their prices, and the rise in medical costs would slow. (14) The waiting period in doctors’ offices would also lessen as overcrowding and over scheduling decreased. (15) If patients have more choice, some of the more incompetent physicians would be driven out of medicine. (16) Communities that have not been able to lure a physician to their town should be able to recruit physicians. (17) The outcry of physicians to such a proposal would be loud, for their income would drop as prices for their services fell. (18) The physicians’ “labor union” (or more accurately, their business organization), the American Medical Association, would mobilize to fight such a proposal. (19) By controlling the nation’s medical schools, the AMA limits the supply of physicians, guaranteeing high medical costs. (20) An oversupply is not in the interest of this powerful monopoly. 3. The main pattern of organization used in the passage is one of a. cause and effect. b. definition and example. c. contrast. d. list of items.

Monsters of the deep the ocean is full of mysteries and amazing creatures. since the first sailors left their home shores and set off for adventure, stories have been told of the strange and wondrous beasts encountered on the open ocean. with only glimpses and imagination-enhanced stories to go on, humans have made many an interesting creature into a monster. the truth is, the ocean's scariest creatures inhabit such extreme depths that humans are rarely, if ever, threatened by them. that does not mean they are not the stuff of nightmares. consider, if you will, the following frightful fiends. atlantic hagfish part eel, part sea snake, this sea serpent may have inspired many stories. lacking the scales that most fish have, the hagfish secretes the most amazing slime to protect itself. this slime may be used to suffocate predators. the slime includes small fibers that make it almost impossible to remove. but the hagfish's truly horrific nature lies in what it does to its prey, not its predators. with an excellent sense of smell that compensates for almost total blindness, the hagfish will locate and latch on to a victim. with a circle of razor sharp teeth, the hagfish bores a hole into the side of its now-doomed prey. once the hole is complete, the hagfish just welcomes itself inside for a meal of fish innards. it essentially eats its prey from the inside out. like other deep-sea monsters, however, hagfish are seldom a nuisance to humans. they live most of their lives at depths of up to 5,600 feet. in fact, they prefer a soft sea bottom so they can quickly bury themselves to hide from threats. gulper eel another, more hideous, fiend of the deep is the gulper eel. this creepy critter is part eel and part giant pouch. like a pelican's enormous pouch-shaped mouth, the mouth of the gulper eel can open quite wide to gulp prey. it has a long tail tipped with a glowing organ that is used to lure in prey. in part to its tail, the gulper can reach up to six feet in length. because its tail is so thin, it is not able to pursue prey with any speed, but it can scoop up hundreds of small crustaceans or shrimp in one bite. often swimming through these prey groups with its mouth wide open, its large jaws allow it to feed on squid and other creatures much larger than itself. gulper eels have only been studied because they sometimes get caught in the nets of fishermen. the depths they inhabit make it quite difficult for scientists to study them. they can go as deep as 6,000 feet, well beyond the abilities of humans to pursue them. vampire squid perhaps the most frightening of the deep-sea monsters is also the smallest. the vampire squid reaches lengths of only six inches. it is also one of the most ancient of the deep-sea monsters. scientists believe it to be the last surviving member of its order. to see the vampire squid is to wonder how many kinds of sea creatures have been mashed into this one odd-looking spook. part squid, part octopus, and part fish, the vampire squid has features of all of these. first, it has large fins at the top of its head that look like ears. flapping like dumbo, the squid uses these fins to get around. it also has tentacles and a large bulbous head like an octopus. its arms, however, are connected by webbing that allows it to form a cloak around itself when frightened. like the octopus, it can change its colors, even making its cloak so dark that it appears invisible. remarkably, it has the largest eyes compared to its body size of any creature on earth. despite its mere six-inch length, its eyes are as big as those of a large dog. with its glowing orbs of eyes and its disappearing tricks, it's no wonder it's named after one of the most feared creatures of legends and folklore: the vampire. these creatures make one wonder not just about the odd members of the deep-sea community, but also what mysterious things inhabit the regions never visited by humans. what may be lurking in the deepest, darkest corners of the deep blue seas? one thing we know for certain, much like the outrageous monsters we conjure in our worst nightmares, the deep ocean is an equally imaginative source of shock, awe, and outright fright. what are the key differences between the atlantic hagfish and the gulper eel? use details and quotations from the text to support your answer.
