Health insurers are largely immune to the factors that are limiting profit in many sectors of the healthcare economy. Consumers have shown a willingness to pay almost any price for health insurance premiums. Capital demands, which are the responsibility of doctors and hospitals, are increasing dramatically, even as cost-containment measures, largely encouraged by the insurers and their friends in government, have forced new levels of fiscal discipline upon hospitals and doctors. Patients still need MRIs and buildings to put them in, but hospitals are limited in how much they can charge patients for the use of these facilities.
Which one of the following most accurately describes the role that the statement “patients still need MRIs and buildings to put them in” plays in the argument?
(A) It is a specific example of a general condition described in the course of the argument.
(B) It is used to counter a consideration that may be taken to undermine the argument.
(C) It is used to indirectly support the claim made by the argument.
(D) It describes a social side effect of the benefit with which the argument is concerned.
(E) It introduces the conclusion that the argument intends to support.

Anyone else who also thinks A?
Option A highlights a key point in the argument about the financial pressures on hospitals versus the financial resilience of health insurers.

Option A?
The argument talks about how the capital demands are to be taken up by hospitals but it won't impact insurers etc
the last line is an example of that
I felt only A fits well
Not sure tho
