(A) imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend
(B) imposing stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients, and spending
(C) that impose stricter limits on medical services, require doctors to see more patients, and spend
(D) that impose stricter limits on medical services and require doctors to see more patients, spending
(E) that impose stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients and spending need a 'that' here so C, D, and E are left. I think E wins. IMO E.

C. I appreciate that you are paralleling three items. I think that's fine. Is OA E?

I would go with option D A and B are clearly rejected, we are left with C, D and E. the second part of the sentence gives 2 the features of the insurance plan: - Imposing stricter limits on medical services - require doctors to see more patients. because seeing more patients in less time indicates spending less time with each, we don't need to separate the two by 'and' because they invariably mean the same. So, the 2 features are separated by 'and' and the following by a comma. Among lower-paid workers, union members are less likely than nonunion members to be enrolled in lower-end insurance plans that impose stricter limits on medical services and require doctors to see more patients, spending less time with each.

Agree with explanations for D, ...require doctors to see more patients, therefore spending less time with each.

(A) imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend
(B) imposing stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients, and spending
(C) that impose stricter limits on medical services, require doctors to see more patients, and spend
(D) that impose stricter limits on medical services and require doctors to see more patients, spending
(E) that impose stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients and spending E is wrong because it reads as if its the stricter limits on medical services that are requiring doctors to see more patients versus D, which is correct, distinguish that its the lower end insurance plans that require doctors to see more patients. I didn't get it at first after carefully reading it I was able to see where the problem lies.

For option D, it is not immediately clear what the last part of the sentence is modifying.
I would still go with E during the test because for docs to see more patients, it does not imply that the doctors will spend less time with the patients. Perhaps the docs work overtime?

(A) imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend
(B) imposing stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients, and spending
(C) that impose stricter limits on medical services, require doctors to see more patients, and spend
(D) that impose stricter limits on medical services and require doctors to see more patients, spending
(E) that impose stricter limits on medical services, requiring doctors to see more patients and spending Low-end Insurance plans only impose stricter limits, however it cannot command doctor to see more patients or less. All the above tells the same except for E, which says that due to stricter limits and not due to low end insurance plans, doctors have to see more patients Similarly, it is not Insurance plans that spend less time, but its the doctor who spends less time. Hence, IMO E.

Impose and Require are BOSSY words, which always require word "that" in the sentence. A is wrong as it lacks the word "that". Also the use of -ing participle "imposing" wrongly suggests that union/nonunion members are imposing the stricter norms than the insurance plans. One more reason to strike out A. Please correct me if I am wrong. _____________________________ Consider KUDOS for good posts
