Obama care to fine non profit hospitals.

[Sunshine]

Charitable hospitals that treat uninsured Americans will be subjected to new levels of scrutiny of their nonprofit status and could face sizable new fines under Obamacare.

A new provision in Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code, which takes effect under Obamacare, sets new standards of review and installs new financial penalties for tax-exempt charitable hospitals, which devote a minimum amount of their expenses to treat uninsured poor people. Approximately 60 percent of American hospitals are currently nonprofit.

It’s ironic isn’t it? The left’s chief complaint about the American healthcare system is that it’s “for profit,” but Obamacare will end up forcing non-profit hospitals to either go under or become for-profit institutions themselves.

Poor Richard's News - Obamacare levies fines on non-profit hospitals that offer free healthcare to the poor

So I wonder where St. Jude, which is run entirely with donations, is going to fall out on this. Will charities be put out of their role helping the less fortunate?

I'm all for eliminating out-of-control, profligate spending and fraud. Let the so-called leaders lead the way. Let's start with government spending and fraud.

I did not, why default to dishonesty? The question is why do you oppose government oversight of taxpayer money? You wouldn't happen to be one of those don't tax and spend Republicans, or are you?

I worked in health care for 25 years. Some of that was on the business side. Non profit hospitals HAVE to make a profit. There is no law that says they cannot make a profit. The laws address how those profits are used. They use the profits they make to keep their facilities, equipment, and services up to date.

When a non profit cannot make a profit, then health care will be stagnated right where it is.

And it WAS implicit in your statement that St. Jude commits fraud.

From His hands alone flows all Goodness. All hail the new liberal messiah. Failure to do so will result in severest castigation and dire punishments.

There are none so blind as those who squeeze their eyes tight closed and persist in their obstinate blindness.
Obamacare was never intended to provide healthcare, affordable or otherwise. It has always been intended as a means to gain the greatest control over the population, and to punish those who refuse to comply obediently.
