Question Stats:
44% (02:06) correct
55% (01:11) wrong based on 2 sessions
I was rooting for C until I realized "Most diseases" and "serious illness" dont necessarily overlap. D wins as the second reason supports it. Since the poor people (some people) dont get vaccinations they are likely to contract infectious diseases.

C is not correct because it is an assumption that should be taken. It is not the conclusion.
It is of the form: X because C ... not of the form X, therefore C.

gmatnub wrote: Advocates insist that health savings accounts are an efficient method to reduce medical expenses. However, widespread adoption of these accounts will soon undermine the public’s health. One reason for this is that most people will be reluctant to deplete their accounts to pay for regular preventive examinations, so that in many cases a serious illness will go undetected until it is far advanced. Another reason is that poor people, who will not be able to afford health savings accounts, will no longer receive vaccinations against infectious diseases.
The statements above, if true, most support which of the following?
(A) Wealthy individuals will not be affected negatively by health savings accounts.
(B) Private health insurance will no longer be available.
(C) Most diseases are detected during regular preventive examinations.
(D) Some people without health savings accounts are likely to contract infectious diseases.
(E) The causal relationship between an individual’s health and that person’s medical care has been adequately documented. Negated A/B/E as they bring outside information into the answers. Got struck between C and D. Finally negated C as stimulus takes about cases of serious illness going undetected rather than detection of most diseases (which could include non serious cases too)

I guess the reason is, if you have health savings account and do not use it is same as not having health saving account. So, people how have health saving and don use it are same as poor people who do not have health savings account. Thus, some people are likely to get diseases irrespective of their health care account. The conclusion says thet wider use of these accounts are same as not having those accounts!!

Got this one wrong. Went with C. Going through the previous explanations, I realized my mistake was in assuming that many cases = most diseases.

Yes, C is wrong because of the distinction between many and most. You already seem to know the distinction. "Many" means a lot, "most" means a large percentage, or the overwhelming majority. Many people in the world live in the USA (because 300 million do) - that is a lot, a large number. However, most people in the world do not live in the USA.
