This is one of the Brutal SC sentences. I'm curious why it doesnt have a THAT before requires
Among lower-paid workers, union members are less likely than non union members to be enrolled in lower-end insurance plans that impose stricter limits on medical services and [that] require doctors to see more patients, spending less time with each.
I bring up this point because...
Danny has a cat that scratched everyone and drove his mom crazy.
This sentence is not parallel. The second phrase implies Danny drove his mom crazy rather than the cat did.
Danny has a cat that scratched everyone and that drove his mom crazy.
This sentence is correct because that restricts both clauses and modifies cat.
I think even the first sentence is parallel and ok. May be I am wrong.
But what I read in ( probably in Princeton Smart) , that if we have a series of expression such as:
Danny has a cat that scratched everyone, irritated kids and drove his mom crazy.--- Should be OK
Danny has a cat that scratched everyone, that irritated kids and drove his mom crazy.----Not OK
Danny has a cat that scratched everyone, irritated kids and that drove his mom crazy.----Not OK
Danny has a cat that scratched everyone, that irritated kids and that drove his mom crazy--Should be OK.
So if we drop "that" after first use, then drop it for good and if you dont drop it then use it every expressions.
