gre argument 203题目：
The following appeared in a newspaper feature story.
"At the small, nonprofit hospital in the town of Saluda, the average length of a patient's stay is two days(2); at the large, for-profit hospital in the nearby city of Megaville, the average patient stay is six days(1). Also, the cure rate(2) among patients in the Saluda hospital is about twice(3) that of the Megaville hospital. The Saluda hospital has more employees per patient(5) than the hospital in Megaville, and there are few complaints(6) about service at the local hospital(4). Such data indicate that treatment in smaller, nonprofit hospitals(8) is more economical(7) and of better quality than treatment in larger, for-profit hospitals."
提纲：
(1)The time length of a patient’s stay is not a good indication of the quality of treatment in the hospital.
(2)Other factors might also explain the shorter length of patient stay and higher cure rate in the Saluda hospital.
(3)We do not know the severity of illness among patients in the Saluda hospital and in Megaville hospital, thus cannot evaluate the cure rate in the two hospitals.
(4)More employees per patient and few complaints do not necessarily indicate that treatment in Saluda hospital is better than that in Megaville hospital.
(5)A higher employee-patient ratio may just indicate organizational inefficiency at Saluda.
(6)Without the total number of patients going to each hospital, we cannot evaluate what percentage of their patients complained.
(7)The author fails to provide the actual expenditures of patients in the two hospitals, thus the assumption that treatment in smaller, nonprofit hospital is more economical is unwarranted.
(8)The author hastily generalizes that treatment in other smaller, nonprofit hospitals will necessarily be more economical and of better quality than that in larger, for-profit hospitals.
注：题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。
