如题

The White House is concerned that health insurers will blame the new law for increases in premiums that are intended to maximize profits rather than covering claims.

为什么不是rather than to cover claims呢？

It should not surprise you that articles on the NYtimes contain a lot of grammatical errors. Look at the first paragraph of an article that appears on the NYtimes today:

"

resident Obama said his top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, had used “poor judgment” and Pentagon officials said the general had prepared a letter of resignation, as he flew to Washington on Tuesday to find out whether he would be fired after a magazine article quoted him and his staff disparaging top members of the Obama administration."

The paragraph contains at least two type of errors: run-on sentence, and ambiguous pronoun.

Thank you for your information. Since I just started to read NYTimes, I thought such serious newpapers should not have made any obvious grammatical errors. Well, I guess I should get used to it.
