Using the National Academy of State Health Policy Hospital Cost Tool, we compared changes in hospital profits with changes in hospitals' charity care and cash reserves between 2012 and 2019. We estimated substantial growth in nonprofit hospital operating profits and cash reserves in this period but no corresponding increase in charity care.
利用国家州立卫生政策学院医院成本工具,我们比较了 2012 年至 2019 年期间医院利润变化与医院慈善护理和现金储备变化之间的关系。我们估计在此期间非营利性医院运营利润和现金储备大幅增长,但慈善护理没有相应增加。
