This sparked a national outrage

Question

The background for the sentence I need help translating is about pap smears being done too often.

How do you translate,

"This sparked a national outrage as women across the country began to feel that healthcare rationing was about to begin even before public-option healthcare reform had passed Congress".

Esto inicio un ultrajada nacional como mujeres por todo el pais sintieron que racionamento de quidado de salud iba empezar antes de que la option publica de reforma de quidado de salud habia pasado por el congreso. - kmeza, May 5, 2010

Answer 1

Ok. Here is my version, Kmeza. Compare it with yours to see where you need to work in your study!

"Esto encendió la indignación nacional , a medida que las mujeres en todo el país comenzaron a sentir que el racionamiento de la atención a la salud estaba por iniciarse, incluso antes de que la reforma de la opción pública de la atención a la salud hubiese pasado por el Congreso".

'encendió' is nice, you could also say 'provocó'. - samdie, May 5, 2010

Oh yes! I just thought that "encendió" is a nice, close equivalent to "spark". :-) - Gekkosan, May 5, 2010

Answer 2

As usual, Kmeza, the rule is that you provide your own translation, and then we help you clean it up as required.

Would you give it a shot?
