Question

>Sparva, unlike Treland’s other provinces, requires automobile insurers to pay for any medical treatment sought by someone who has been involved in an accident; in the other provinces, insurers pay for nonemergency treatment only if they pre-approve the treatment. **Clearly, Sparva’s less restrictive policy must be the explanation for the fact that altogether insurers there pay for far more treatments after accidents than insurers in other provinces, even though Sparva does not have the largest population.**My understanding of this passage: *First sentence:* Insurers in Sparva are paying for medical treatment, but not paying in other provinces. *Second sentence:* Insurers in Sparva pay for far more treatments. Here I have difficulty in understanding, because in first sentence person is demanding for paying, but in second sentence saying insurers are paying far more for treatment. It is really confusing...........

Answer 1

Hello! I'd like to help you with this question, if I may. The first sentence is explaining that this province, Sparva, has a different insurance policy than the other provinces in the area. It explains that in Sparva, insurers always have to pay medical treatment to someone that was in an accident, regardless of the degree of injury. It also explains that insurance in other provinces only pay once the required treatment has been pre-approved. The second sentence is saying that this difference in policy may be the reason why insurers have to pay for more treatments at a disproportional rate to the population. The first sentence is not demanding payment, merely stating the payment process.

Sparva, unlike Treland’s other provinces, requires automobile insurers to pay for any medical treatment sought by someone who has been involved in an accident. (This sentence addresses specifically to automobile insurers obligations to an accident involving one of their insured.)

In Treland’s other provinces, insurers pay for nonemergency treatment, only if they are pre-approved for the treatment. (This sentence does not address specifically to a specific insurance provider. (i.e. automobile)

**Clearly, Sparva’s less restrictive policy must be the explanation for the fact that altogether insurers there pay for far more treatments after accidents than insurers in other provinces, even though Sparva does not have the largest population. (With the above explanations above, this argument has nothing to do with either sentence.)

**My understanding of this passage: *First sentence:* Insurers in Sparva are paying for medical treatment, but not paying in other provinces. (Again, with the above explanations above, this argument has nothing to do with either sentence.)

*Second sentence:* Insurers in Sparva pay for far more treatments. Here I have difficulty in understanding, because in first sentence person is demanding for paying, but in second sentence saying insurers are paying far more for treatment. It is really confusing........... (And again, with the above explanations above, this argument has nothing to do with either sentence.)

If more defining information were to be given about the insurance provider, your arguments may have had validity. But, there is nothing in either sentence that gives the indication that the writer is addressing the same insurance provider.
