Passage B How would big data play a role in the twenty-first century medicine? To answer this question, we may learn something from the forerunners—the Dutch and the Japanese. Though from very different cultural contexts, both collect big data not only to analyze the existing problems, but also to predict the future curve concerning both personal and public health wisely. It is true that the total population in Taiwan is decreasing, but people are also living longer. Therefore, a lot of the Public Health Insurance payments go to the aging and the unhealthy disproportionately. To stop this imbalanced money drain, we should promote the preventive medicine, reduce bedridden days, and encourage the signing of donor cards—though the last one might be a cultural taboo difficult to break in the short term. Meanwhile, there is another factor—our contemporary society is getting more and more M-shaped. On the one hand, the rich get richer; on the other, the poor become poorer. This results in their different types of unhealthiness: the rich would get more obese, leading to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular ones, or diabetes, as well as mental problems; the poor, confronted with worsening living conditions, might develop alcoholism, drug addiction, and another set of mental illnesses. Not to mention the middle class who suffer yet another set of psychosomatic problems. Hence to respond to the future extremes of the health spectrum, the government's policy to freeze the quota of total physicians to just 1,300 graduates ever since 2008 needs reconsideration now. How should postgraduate medical students prepare themselves to be future physicians? Even though physician training is bound to be tough, and students (candidates) are under constant distress, potential trainees should first brace themselves for the ever-changing world and adjust themselves. Second, they should constantly remind themselves of their original motive—to save people's lives. Finally, it is advisable to take the advantage of the increasingly internet-linked world, and try to take the initiative to reach out to the outside world. "Where there is a will, there is a way." Though this sounds like a cliché, yet learning to articulate stories of their future outposts may lead to a win-win situation. As specialists, or general practitioners, they may not be able to solve all the problems. Yet at least they can tell their stories via podcast (or other social media) so that the outsiders can hear the true stories and apply different ways to help. In other words, they shouldn't ______ themselves to the comfort zone, or take the city living standard for granted. If they change their mindset, they would really feel rewarded by the help they render to others, and benefit their own body, soul, and spirit.

若某個系統正遭遇『不平衡的資金流失（imbalanced money drain）』，而作者提出了一些具體的應對措施（例如推廣預防醫學）來『停止』這個狀況，你覺得這些措施對於該系統整體的『財務支出』最直接的預期效果是什麼？

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到第二段的核心論點，這代表你對文章的邏輯脈絡掌握得非常扎實。在第二段中，作者提到臺灣人口高齡化導致全民健保（Public Health Insurance）面臨嚴重的財務負擔，大量資金不成比例地消耗在老齡與不健康者身上。文中明確指出「為了阻止這種不平衡的資金流失（To stop this imbalanced money drain）」，政府與社會應推廣預防醫學（preventive medicine）。
預防醫學與財務平衡的邏輯關聯
這裡的邏輯轉化非常清晰：因為「預防勝於治療」，推動預防醫學可以從源頭減少病患產生，進而達成減輕健保財務負擔的目的，這完美對應了選項 (B) 所提到的「預防照顧可能減少整體醫療開支」。
