Thanks, Alan. So shocking to realize we give away millions in tax revenue and don’t get the intended charitable care in return. Maybe these hospitals should be required to pay the taxes first and then apply for refunds if they provide charity, real charity care to real patients, not just reputation scrubbing '’education’. And instead of being allowed to accept donations directly, tdonations could go into a pool that hospitals could apply to for grants. They have not been honest brokers. The onus should be on them to earn these benefits. They should not be given the key to the cash drawer.
