What's Lacking in ' Sicko '?
When it comes to economic decisions,there are always trade.offs（取舍）。Gain one thing and you lose something else._________（46）
The central argument of Michael Moore's movie"Sicko"一that the cure to the nation's health care problems is a single-payer system-is hardly novel and is certainly worth consideration,whether or not you agree with it.But in comparing the American system with single-payer plans of other countries-Britain,France,Canada and Cuba-Mr.Moore left out the trade?offs,characterizing those countries as health care paradises._________ （47）
Kurt Loder,the film critic who is best known as the anchor（主持人）of"MTV News," wrote a critique（批评）of the film for MTV's website. "Sicko" he said."does a real service"in portraying（描绘）victims of American insurance companies-like the people who died because their only treatment、options were considered"experimental''and therefore not covered._________ （48）
When "governments attempt to regulate the-balance between a limited supply of health care and an unlimited demand for it,they're inevitably forced to ration treatment,Mr.Loder asserted._________ （49）Mr.Loder cited the short film"Dead Meat,"which presents anecdotes（轶事）of failure in the Canadian single-payer system.In its one-sidedness,''Dead Meat''might have made for a nice double feature with"Sicko."and left movie-goers with a more complete understanding of the complications of deciding on a health care system._________ （50）
This all makes an otherwise "emotionally compelling film not necessarily an intellectually satisfying one;"wrote Darren Barefoot,a Canadian blogger（博客作者）。
A Mr.Moore also decided to ignore problems in other countries,like France's high taxes and Britain'S cash-short hospitals.
B But the film as a whole,he concluded,is "breathtakingly meretricious（似是而非的），"in large part because of its characterizations of other countries' health care systems.
C The problems have been noticed-and criticism is coming not just from Mr-
Moore's detractors（诋毁者）。
D He ticked off a number of negative statistics to counter the positive ones offeredby Mr.Moore.
E Health care is the prevention,treatment,and management of illness.
F This is particularly true in health care,a market in which scarce（稀罕的）goods
are ridiculously expensive,but needed by everybody.
