'impose' (in whatever form) should be parallel to 'require' (again, in whatever form). these are two different things, both of which are aspects of the plan (= logical parallelism)


'spend' should not be parallel to 'see', because it functions as a modifier of 'see' (it's a descriptive adverb modifier, detailing the way in which the doctors see the patients)

老李正解。
说俗了就是spending是preceding 主谓的伴随/结果状语，这里preceding主谓是doctors see more patients
