经糖尿病煎熬，只能做兼职工作，在俄勒冈州特有健康保险彩票发行的当天就报了名。
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Oregon is conducting a one-of-a-kind lottery,
and the prize is health insurance.
美联社俄勒冈州波特兰报道。俄勒冈州发行了一种新型彩票，奖品是健康保险。
The state will start drawing names this week for the chance to
enroll in a health care program designed for people not poor enough
for Medicaid but too cash-strapped to buy their own
insurance.
俄勒冈州的健康保险彩票本周将抽奖决定中奖中姓名，那些没钱买自己保险而还不至于困难到申请医疗补助的人们，就有机会成为保健计划的成员。
More than 80,000 people have signed up since registration for the
lottery opened in January. Only a few thousand will be chosen for
the program.
自2008年元月份该彩票上市以来，已经有8万多人登记，不过其中只有几千人能成为保健计划的收益人。
'It's better than nothing, it's at least a hope,' said Shirley
Krueger, 61, who signed up the first day.
61岁的雪莉·库戈在第一天就报了名，她说：“总比什么都没有好，起码还有个希望”。
It's been more than six months since she could afford to take
insulin regularly for her diabetes. That puts her at higher risk
for a number of complications, such as kidney failure, heart
disease and blindness.
因为糖尿病，她使用胰岛素已经6个多月了，这使她面临很多并发症的威胁，如肾衰竭、心脏病和失明。
Her part-time job leaves her ineligible for her employer's
insurance plan and with too little income to buy her own.
由于是兼职工作，她老板也不可能帮她购置保险，而她也没有钱自己买。
'I'm worried about it. I know it's a death sentence,' Krueger
said.
“担心死啦，我知道这样下去只有等死”，库戈说。
An estimated 600,000 people in Oregon are uninsured, according to
the Oregon Department of Human Services.
按俄勒冈州公共事务部的说法，该州大约有60万人没有保险。
Those selected in the lottery will be eligible for a standard
benefit program, which was once a heralded highlight of the Oregon
Health Plan.
选择该彩票的人们将有资格从一项标准的保健计划中受益，该保健计划曾经是“俄勒冈卫生计划”的最耀眼部分。
At its peak in 1995, the program covered 132,000 Oregonians. State
budget cuts forced the program to close to newcomers by 2004, but
it now has several thousand openings.
在高峰期的1995年该计划受益者高达13万2千人，可是到了2004年由于州财政紧缩使计划搁浅，但现在又使几千人有此机会。
The program covers their most basic health services, medications
and limited dental, hospital and vision services at little or no
cost.
该计划涵盖了最基本的健康科目及药物治疗，部分牙科，住院和眼科也少花钱或不花钱。
The health insurance lottery winners will be chosen in a series of
drawings that could take a few months.
健康保险彩票的中奖者将通过一些列抽奖才能产生，这需要几个月的时间。
'This is such a wonderful opportunity,' said Ellen Pinney, director
of the Oregon Health Action Campaign. 'We've heard absolutely no
complaints, just a lot of hope that they are the ones who will be
selected.'
俄勒冈保健计划的负责人艾伦·品奈说，真是天赐良机，现在大家不再抱怨，更多的是中奖的憧憬。
'We have pretty much returned as a state, in terms the percentage
of uninsured, to where we were in the late '80s when we created
(the Oregon Health Plan standard benefit),' said Barney Speight,
director of the Oregon Health Fund Board.
“从未保险百分比就可以看出，与上世纪八十年代我们创始相比，整个州的情况好多了”，俄勒冈保健基金会负责人巴内·斯贝特说。
The board is supposed to come up with a plan to address health care
access and coverage for Oregonians for consideration in the 2009
legislative session.
基金会正考虑推出计划，拓宽俄勒冈州居民的保健渠道、增加覆盖面，提交2009年立法会。
Gov. Ted Kulongoski considers the Oregon Health Plan a basis to
build on, said Anna Richter Taylor, a spokeswoman for his office.
The plan has been able to maintain its benefit package for people
who are aged, blind, disabled, under 19, pregnant or receiving
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families benefits.
特德·库朗勾斯基州长的新闻发言人安娜·里克特·泰勒说，州长认为俄勒冈保健计划是基础，该计划使老人、未成年人、残疾人、孕妇和生活暂时困难的家庭收益。
