Charitable hospitals that treat uninsured Americans will be subjected to new levels of scrutiny of their nonprofit status and could face sizable new fines under Obamacare.
A new provision in Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code, which takes effect under Obamacare, sets new standards of review and installs new financial penalties for tax-exempt charitable hospitals, which devote a minimum amount of their expenses to treat uninsured poor people. Approximately 60 percent of American hospitals are currently nonprofit.
Charity for the uninsured is one of the factors that could discourage enrollment in Obamacare, which requires all Americans to purchase heath insurance or else face new taxes themselves from the IRS.
“It requires tax-exempt hospitals to do a community needs survey and file additional paperwork with the IRS every three years. This is to prove that the charitable hospital is still needed in their geographical area — ‘needed’ as defined by Obamacare and overseen by IRS bureaucrats,” said John Kartch, spokesman for Americans for Tax Reform.
“Failure to comply, or to prove this continuing need, could result in the loss of the hospital’s tax-exempt status. The hospital would then become a for-profit venture, paying income tax — hence the positive revenue score” for the federal government, Kartch said. “Obamacare advocates turned over every rock to find as much tax money as possible.”

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Incredible. Christians have been organizing non profit hospitals throughout their history as a community corporal act of mercy to treat the sick. Now this age old practice is illegal in the United States. The Communists did the same thing in Russia. Independent organized charity was illegal since it competed with the state’s authority and primacy.
just crap....where are the rakes and torches????
BTTT
Forced Zerocare WILL be the final straw...
as the witch Pelosi told us...’we have to pass the bill to know what is in the bill...’ poison pill all around
This is why “defunding” Obamacare will prove futile. The entire abomination must be removed from the books like a cancer.
I looked and looked for the satire keyword, but somehow didn’t find it.
HIGH TREASON. GODLESS. UNCHARITABLE PROVINCIAL EVIL.
SATANIC BULLSHIT.
IMPERIAL IDIOCRACY. ASSUMPTIVE TOTALITARIAN INCOMPETANT BRAVADO...
Is your expletive-deleted thought somewhere in there?
So there will be a class of US residents who are not eligible to participate in the exchanges, ineligible for Medicaid and unable to get charity?
Words fail me.
Obama wants children to die unless his regime gets to be in charge of healing them - using a small percentage of the money extracted from taxpayers for that purpose, while giving the rest to his political buddies...
The communist goals, which were read into the Congressional Record sometime in the 60’s, talk about destroying the church and pushing policies, mores, and ideas that would undermine the family. Anybody who would show REAL love is a threat to the government that wants to be god. As you say, they are a competitor. Families that provide for their own have to be destroyed because if they are intact and strong there will be no need for the government to take over and try to be everybody’s family and/or god.
This regime is anti-Christ. In every sense of the word.
Oh but there are indeed people laughing. :(
What about Children’s Hospitals, Shriner’s Hospitals, City of Hope and other exclusively charity hospitals?
Vladimir Lenin himself said that the Socialist paradise of his dreams could never come about without absolute control of the medical system.
Indeed, did you hear about the hypocrisy of Shelia Jackson Lee thanking zero for exempting congress and their aids from the program?
