R: Rita E: Ethan
R: Oh, did you apply for health insurance?
E: Am I not covered anymore? That’s scary!
R: You are. But since you’re no longer working, you’ll need to make payments yourself from now on.
E: OK. What should I do?
R: You’ll have to apply at your local district office.
E: I see. I can do that later today.
R: That’s a good idea. Let me know how the job hunting goes.
E: Thanks, Rita. I’ll let you know.
麗 塔:喔,你有去申請健保嗎?
伊 森:我沒有健保保障了嗎?那也太嚇人了!
麗 塔:你有啦。但因為你已經沒有在工作了,你現在得開始要自行繳費了。
伊 森:好。我該怎麼做?
麗 塔:你得去你當地的區公所申請。
伊 森:我了解了。我今天晚一點可以去。
麗 塔:這是個好主意。再跟我說你求職進展得如何。
伊 森:謝了,麗塔。我會讓妳知道的。
