As the revenues of healthcare organizations continue to decline, finding ways to raise low-cost capital has become increasingly important. By incorporating municipal bond insurance into a finance plan, healthcare organizations can achieve sizable debt-service savings for both new-money projects and refunding transactions. Bonds insured by one of the major municipal bond issuers are enhanced and carry AAA ratings from Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's Corp., and, in some cases, Fitch Investors Service. Thus enhanced, they can attract a broader range of investors than uninsured issuers and can make it easier for healthcare organizations to raise long-term capital in a cost-effective manner.
随着医疗保健机构的收入持续下降，寻找筹集低成本资金的方法变得越来越重要。通过将市政债券保险纳入融资计划，医疗保健机构可以在新资金项目和再融资交易中实现可观的偿债成本节省。由主要市政债券发行商之一承保的债券信用得到提升，并获得穆迪投资者服务公司、标准普尔公司以及在某些情况下惠誉投资者服务公司的AAA评级。信用得到这样的提升后，它们比未投保的发行商能够吸引更广泛的投资者，并且能让医疗保健机构更轻松地以具有成本效益的方式筹集长期资金。
