背景信息——在美国,没有资格参加公立医疗保险的民众大多自行购买商业医疗保险,但有一些美国人没有任何医疗保险。无论在何种类型的医院,都会出现一部分无保险或保险不足的患者(Uninsured or Underinsured Patients)在接受医疗服务后无力支付医疗费用的情形[9]。这种情形在美国被称为“未获补偿的服务”(Unreimbursed Care),也就是所谓的“欠费服务”。由于美国采取先看病后收费的制度,而且为所有到急诊部求医的病人提供医疗服务是急救医生长期坚持的传统,因而“欠费”的情形在美国医院的急诊部经常发生。事实上,在任何类型的医院都会出现“欠费”的情形,但是有研究显示,在公立医院和民办非营利性医院中,出现“欠费服务”的情形相对来说较多。从某种意义上说,公立医院的职责之一就是为低收入人群提供基本的医疗服务,无论其是否“欠费”,这就是其公益性的体现。
Recently, insurers have been strictly limiting what they pay hospitals for the care of insured patients to amounts at or below actual costs.——用来offset的钱少了
are simply——只是
C选项:本选项的迷惑度最高。一般来说,平行触发语not...but...连接的两者需要在逻辑上保证平行,本选项严格满足这个要求。但是,如果保证严格的平行,则but身后的副词simply只能修饰形容词random(在but身后根本看不到动词,自然只能认为是修饰形容词的了)。但这在逻辑上是不正确的。本题的意思是,优点不是为了生存的自然选择的产物,而“仅仅”是副产物。因此,simply必须修饰系动词are,不能修饰random(那样,意思就变成了“简单地随机”了)。

it强调句型和it作形式主语的主语从句的区别:
强调句的结构 it is/was+被强调部分+that/who+句子其余部分,其中it is/was和that/who不作任何指代且在结构上不起任何作用,个人判断方法是将这两部分去掉并不影响原句表达,例如 (it is) you (who) saved me;
而it作形式主语的主语从句则不一样,例:It is a pity that you missed the exciting football match。 这里it 作形式主语,指代that引导的主语从句,正序是that you missed the exciting football match is a pity,可以看到这里的it is + that不能直接移去,is是充当谓语的
所以A中是两个标准的强调句型并列,也就不存在it指代问题的混淆。
