Tax Exemptions in America

Middlefield Hospital is an outstanding community hospital that has had an increase of more Medicare, Medicaid, and uninsured patients. With an influx of this payer mix receiving healthcare at our hospital has reduced the overall reimbursements and net income. I have met with the chief financial officer (CFO) and the hospital management team and discussed

In Mason, the taxpayer suffered a severe attack of paralytic poliomyelitis. The cost of installation of a specially designed swimming pool, installed on the advice of a physician to provide hydrotherapeutic treatment for the taxpayer was found by jury to constitute a deductible medical expense and not a nondeductible capital expenditure. The swimming pool in Mason covered an area of thirty by fifteen feet, had a depth of four to six feet, and included a ramp designed to facilitate entry by wheel chair. The jury held for the taxpayer and allowed a deduction of the pool as a medical expense because the design of the pool catered to the taxpayer’s medical needs.

The case focuses on the charity program of Sunrise Hospital. The hospital recognizes charity healthcare in the form of bad debts and other services that are offered for free. The process has been faced with some issues, and these issues have halted the organization role of delivering charitable care to low-income people. However, this paper is going to analyze the case.

The Hospital Fairness and Transparency Act, state of Massachusetts, I feel it is important for communities’ to be aware, and to ensure their taxpayer dollars are instead dedicated to safe patient care and necessary services in the Commonwealth, and in other states as well. I find it admirable that Advocates actually provided legislators with a list of hospitals with funds stored in offshore accounts and will urge legislators to demand greater transparency by passing the HPTFA. Today communities are asking more questions related to healthcare facilities finances in their communities. Massachusetts health care costs

Nicklaus Children’s Hospital is a 289 bed facility with ten outpatient centers and practice subsidiaries nonprofit. Also under the Affordable Care Act this hospital must do an assessments of the community 's needs and from there must develop a strategic plan in order to address the needs that were identified for the community (health netpulse 2013).This hospital doesn’t pay federal income tax, state tax and local property taxes (Nicklaus Children 's Hospital 2016). As listed on their return of organization exempt from income tax form their mission and most significant activities consist of being able to provide world-class access to healthcare for all children as well as sustenance programs that are innovative and emphasize preventions, diagnosis and treatment of illness that affect children (Internal Revenue Service 2014).

The worst thing I think America ever did is putting way too many taxes on the poor. One of my reasons is that the poor can’t afford a lot of things with taxes and if the poor buy something they also have to pay taxes, which will make everything more Expensive. My Second reason is that the government should make a rule for taxes based on the person's income. My Third reason is that because of the taxes the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer. Those are my three reasons for why taxes on the poor is the worst thing America did.

While the 2,100 tax-exempt hospitals are heavily subsidized, with over $12.6 billion in tax exemptions and $32 billion in government-assistance subsidies each year, many fail to use their assets and revenues to provide mutually affordable health care to the uninsured and underinsured (Hammaker, 2011).

Next, we studied the financial structures of health care organizations. Specifically, we examined the structure of nonprofit healthcare organizations. I remember spending a good amount of time debating whether or not nonprofits should maintain their tax exempt status. As someone who had spent their entire professional career working for a nonprofit organization, I often viewed myself as the sole champion for these organizations. In sessions and on the discussion boards, I advocated that nonprofit healthcare organizations in most situation function as a safe net of the community and that the level of community benefits these organizations provide do justify the lost revenue for state and federal agencies.

States that opt out of the federally backed Medicaid model must adhere to federal guidelines within the state’s indigent plan (Singer, 2014). For example, if a state were “to adopt and indigent care system that only reimburses hospitals and providers for acute care (typically emergency room) patients, the savings realized would not be enough to offset the cost” of a plan because the hospitals and providers still have to observe EMTALA despite the fact the state gave up the federal money to support the state’s own plan (Singer, 2014, p. 55). States that opt out of the federally endorsed Medicaid model would be short over $30 billion dollars and would have to increase taxes to try to recoup the shortfall (Singer, 2014). Since EMTALA prohibits the transfer of indigent individuals from high-costing hospitals to more cost-effective, lower priced hospitals for purely financial reasons, many states cannot create more economical indigent healthcare

Based on the Genesys HealthWorks Case Study this health care system is known to be nonprofit within a suburban area, that is pretty much a unified hospital. “It includes a 410- bed acute-care teaching hospital that provides Level II trauma services, a convalescent center, a home health agency, a durable medical equipment supplier, resident and home hospice care, and various ancillary/diagnostic services and sites”(website). It’s true that the country has roughly 1 million nonprofit units of countless varieties and hospitals that obligate to extended outdated facility supplier in the nonprofit area. Nonprofit units are normally discharged from furthermost taxes at the federal, state, and local phases that may contain property and revenue taxes. As far as Genesys Health System, it’s more of a capacity that’s administrated by community based nourishment that is considered by decisive ability. With Genesys Health System support for a nonprofit can come from any different organization, unlike hospitals

The appeal of this case explains of the building floors which first, second, and third floors were rented to doctors who had hospital staff privileges. However, these doctors are not employed by Providence hospital. It varies with doctors renting on a square-foot need basis; unfortunately the sisters can cancel the lease whenever necessary for ceasing staff privileges. The facts of the case presented indicate the sisters leased the space for $1.10 per square foot a month in the Anchorage area, (Greater Anchorage Area Borough v. Sisters of Charity, 1978). This type of square foot price is competitive for the anchorage area in Alaska. The lease agreement provides the sisters should pay any real property taxes that become payable on the Professional

In April of 2000, the Downtown Health Clinic (DHC), which is run and overseen by Perpetual Mercy Hospital (PHC), found out some troubling news and was very concerned about it. Perpetual Mercy Hospital was concerned about the possibility of a establishing a similar clinic five blocks north of their facility. The main concerned are that the new and upcoming clinic may take away DHC’s current patients and that such a similar clinic so close could put a damper the DHC’s profitability and financial

The unhealthy hospital case is about a hospital named Blake Memorial that has been in a very bad shape, lacks in providing the best quality of care, is in debt, and financially imbalanced. It is important for a healthcare set up to maintain balance in the financial system so the stakeholders and customers who are the patients their interests are met. If the hospital is lacking in providing the best quality of care for its community and the community is in high needs of the care than the CEO’s of the hospitals need to make a change. The patients (customers) look for getting the best services and better results from a hospital and the stakeholder’s looks for better profitable gain from their business by running the hospitals. In this case
