Here's the context of the question:
Question refers to the following bulletin:
Attention
Open season for health insurance plans is coming up. All employees who have not previously enrolled in a health plan have the opportunity to enroll at this time. In addition, employees who are already enrolled in a health plan may make changes. Open season lasts from May 15 through June 3. No new enrollments or changes may be made before or after these dates. Anyone whose family situation changed last year due to marriage, birth of a child, divorce, or death, must make amendments to the health plan during the upcoming open season in order to assure that all dependents are adequately covered.
In order to enroll, or to make changes to your existing enrollment, please contact Shirley Wilson, your Benefits Manager. Enrollment forms and brochures describing the various plans are available in her office. If you would like someone to discuss the various options with you and to help you choose the best one for you, please e-mail Ms. Wilson to ask for an appointment.
Health insurance is one of the most important benefits offered to you as an employee of this company. Your employer pays a major portion of the cost of this insurance and offers you and your family excellent health protection at a reasonable cost. If you are not currently enrolled in a plan, it is suggested that you give serious consideration to these benefits. There will be no other opportunity to enroll until next year at this time.
Question :
Which of the following describes employees who would probably ignore this notification?
A. Those not covered by a health plan.
B. Those dissatisfied with their health plan.
C. Those covered by a spouse's health plan.
D. Those ready to change their insurance.
The answer is C, and I totally have no idea why it should be C. Can anyone help?
Thank you for the help.

Hi.
My original guess was B, and simply because I couldn't get any clue from the context; I just chose the possible option which looks more reasonable to me by viewing the question sentence only.( Because you don't like their health plan, so you would probably ignore it. => That's a reasonable inference to me.)
I don't know why it's C; I have no clue at all why it's C.

Hi,
I don't find it a good test question, because you can argue in favour of all these answers. I think the examiner chose C because he felt that everyone believes it is essential to have insurance. The examiner just expects you to think like he does.

Hi, thanks for the help.
I don't think it's a good English-ability-test question either; I'm pretty sure even if it were translated into my native language I would still not know the answer. It's purely out of my personal curiosity that I put it on the forum.
