Speaker's Statement: "The great majority of people in the United States have access to the best medical care available anywhere in the world."Objector: There are thousands of poor in this country who cannat afford to pay to see a doctor.

"great majority" - clearly indicates that the speaker is not claiming everyone has access, but a large portion of the population has access to best medical care.
Objector's Response: "There are thousands of poor in this country who cannot afford to pay to see a doctor."
Here, Access to care, specifically financial access is what is questioned. It is logically correlated that - If people can't afford a doctor, they can't access that "best medical care."
The Point of contradiction is between ACCESSIBILITY vs AFFORDABILITY. Both, these can be true in their own way.
Let’s see the options.
(A) It uses emotionally charged words:
Except for poor there is no emotional words in the question stem. Even though, the usage was to provide value to financial access issue.
(B) It constitutes a hasty generalization on few examples:
OUT OF SCOPE
(C) It is not necessarily inconsistent with the speaker's remarks:
This is the correct answer. The objectors statement is not inconsistent or contradictory to the speakers remarks. May be , a different perspective to the issue has been put forward.
(D) It cites statistical evidence which tends to confirm the speaker's points:
No statistical data or information is presented. Out of scope.
(E) It overlooks the distinction the speaker draws between a cause and its effect:
No cause and effect relationship is put forth. For example, if A happens B will also happen. So out of scope.

It is important to pay careful attention to the ways in which a speaker qualifies her claims. In this case, the speaker has said only that the great majority of people can get medical care—she does not claim that all can. Thus, built into the claim is the implicit concession that some people may not have access to medical care. Thus, the objector’s response fails to score against the speaker. The speaker could just respond, “Yes, I realize that and that is the reason why I qualified my remarks.”
(A) is incorrect for the only word in the objector’s statement which is the least bit emotional is “poor,” and it seems rather free from emotional overtones here. It would have been a different case had the objector claimed, “There are thousands of poor and starving people who have no place to live. . . . ”
(D) is wrong for two reasons. First, the evidence is really not statistical; it is only numerical. Second, and more important, the evidence, if anything, cuts against the speaker’s claim— not that it does any damage given the speaker’s qualifications but it surely does not strengthen the speaker’s claim.
Finally, inasmuch as the speaker does not offer a cause-effect explanation, (E) must be wrong.
The correct answer is (C).
