LSAT : Non profit hospitals

by newton9 » Mon Jun 06, 2011 6:43 am
Compared to non-profit hospitals of the same size, investor-owned hospitals require less public investment in the form of tax breaks, use fewer employees, and have higher occupancy levels. It can therefore be concluded that investor-owned hospitals are a better way of delivering medical care than are non-profit hospitals.
Which one of the following, if true, most undermines the conclusion drawn above?
(A) Non-profit hospitals charge more per bed than do investor-owned hospitals.
(B) Patients in non-profit hospitals recover more quickly than don patients with comparable Illnesses in investor-owned hospitals
(C) Non-profit hospitals do more fundraising than do investor-owned hospitals.
(D) Doctors at non-profit hospitals earn higher salaries than do similarly qualified doctors at investor-owned hospitals.
(E) Non-profit hospitals receive more donations than do investor-owned hospitals.

Use anyone of the three in green and show this factor is greater in one and less in other.
@Cans it is occupancy rate as charity hospitals do not keep patients for long time (whether required or not) as does private hospitals to collect more money. It is good.

butttttttt...
Kindly help me know what are tax breaks??? :)

Better medical care=quick cure. If patients in non-profit hospitals recover more quickly than do patients with comparable Illnesses in investor-owned hospitals then investor-owned hospitals are not better way of delivering medical care than are non-profit hospitals.
