Coherent solutions for the problem of reducing health-care costs cannot be found within the current piecemeal system of paying these costs. The reason is that this system gives health-care providers and insurers every incentive to shift, wherever possible, the costs of treating illness onto each other or any other party, including the patient. That clearly is the lesson of the various reforms of the 1980s; push in on one part of this pliable spending balloon and an equally expensive bulge pops up elsewhere. For example, when the government health-care insurance program for the poor cut costs by disallowing payments for some visits to physicians, patients with advanced illness later presented themselves at hospital emergency rooms in increased numbers.

7. The argument proceeds by

(A) showing that shifting costs onto the patient contradicts the premise of health-care reimbursement

(B) attribution without justification fraudulent intent to people

(C) employing an analogy to characterize interrelationships

(D) denying the possibility of a solution by disparaging each possible alternative system (c)

(E) demonstrating that cooperation is feasible by citing an instance

答案中的analogy文章中那里做过对比呢？

That is the analogue.

mage，

那么，“interrelationships”是指什么相互关系呢？

Maybe you did't understand the stimulus completely.

the author in the stimulus is criticizing the piecemeal method of health-care system. The complex system includes many ingredient, that is, health-care provider, insurance company, patients, etc. Under the piecemeal method, if you try to reduce the cost of one of the ingredient, people would shift to another ingredient and the cost of this ingredient would increase as a result. So the total cost will not reduce. That is the inefficacy of the piecemeal method.

the interrelationships is thus refers to the relation of these ingredients.

Hope to explain it clearly
