Despite large variations in margins among hospitals, there is a much smaller difference in how much goes toward free and subsidized spending. But hospital officials say focusing on free care unfairly excludes other subsidized spending and community services. Poudre Valley Health System's Rulon Stacey, left, says the system has increased subsidized health spending to $26.1 million, not all of which is reflected as charity care.
尽管各医院在利润率上存在很大差异,但在用于免费和补贴支出的金额方面差异要小得多。但医院管理人员表示,将重点放在免费医疗上不公平地排除了其他补贴支出和社区服务。普德河谷医疗系统的鲁隆·斯泰西(左)表示,该系统已将补贴医疗支出增加到2610万美元,其中并非所有支出都被算作慈善医疗。
