Sen. Grassley Keeps Pressure on Non-profit Hospitals

Here in Reno in the most renowned hospital, it is well near impossible to me get non-insured patients in for surgery--even when I am willing to do the surgery for free...


Sen. Chuck Grassley is pounding on two non-profit hospitals demanding to know whether they restrict the care they give patients based on their ability to pay.

As ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, the Iowa senator has been bearing down on hospital tax breaks worth millions of dollars, saying he is concerned that non-profits are “losing sight of the public service that comes with tax-exempt status.”
