选项 A、but
B、although
C、therefore
D、because
答案D
解析 结构衔接题。句子前部分表示：We have inferior medical service(我们的医疗服务较差)，后面提到：the computer technology that could change it is not being used(没有使用能够改变医疗服务的计算机技术)。显然两部分之间是因果关系，前果后因指出医疗服务较差的原因，故选because。but表示转折关系，although是表示让步关系的连词，与句中的逻辑关系不符；therefore也表示因果关系，但与because不同的是，therefore表示的是前因后果。
