Tucked away in the new tax law congressional Republicans passed late last year with no Democratic support is a provision slapping certain nonprofits and charities, including houses of worship, with a 21 percent tax on the value of some employee benefits.

It has a fairly narrow impact in America, and it is about treating a nonprofit hospital the same way you treat a for-profit hospital, making sure the Gates Foundation or some other doesn’t have an advantage over a private sector business when competing for workers,” he said.

A hospital with a church affiliation is not a church it is a separate entity. Charities that receive public funding operate separately.

I wish to hell that the states would start looking into this crap. It pisses me off that they don't pay property taxes. People need to go out and look at the sheer number of organizations in their local areas that do not pay property taxes. Well, guess who has to cover that cost?
