Among lower-paid workers, union members are less likely than nonunion members to be enrolled in lower-end insurance plans imposing stricter limits on medical services and requiring doctors to see more patients, and spend 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
网上有A\C\D三个版本答案。。。个人倾向于答案A。。。分析：读文章，语意应该是计划施加限制在medical service并且要求医生看更多的病人、（要求医生）花更少的时间在每个病人身上。个人觉得spend的逻辑主语只能是doctors。A没问题。有人说“ ‘计划要求医生花更少的时间在每个病人身上’语意不对，计划怎么能不为病人着想，反 到花更少时间在病人身上”。我觉得这个说法有些牵强了。。。C 个人觉得就算spend与see并列了，require前面应该加and，以表示require与impose并列D主要是分析一下下面这个句子是否成立 Plans require doctors to see more patients, spending less time with each。 spend若是noun modifier，必定要与所修饰词紧挨着，这里spending不能修饰patients； spend若是verb modifier，其逻辑主语必定是句子主语，plans不是spending逻辑主语； spend若是表结果，意思是要求医生看更多病人这个事spending...我觉得这个事与spending之间有GAP，起 码spending应该改成leading to spend吧
希望大家拍砖。。。

nope, the answer should be
D ( there is no doubt for the correct answer)
here u got the difference between grammatical parallelism and actual parallelism
impose and
require should be
parallel, while
spending should be a
modifier (because plan cannot spend less time on patients; it just identify a way in which doctor can see more patient, so it should be a modifier)
only D satisfies , you should
closely examine the intended meaning that the sentence is trying to convey

1.为什么spend不能与see并列呢。。。而要做修饰。。。

2.读完第一句，感觉没有问题，spend与see并列，D属于改变句子原意了。。。
3.而且我上面讨论了spend做修饰的各个可能性，都不成立啊。。。
