Obamacare Fines Charitable Hospitals

American Overlook ^

[DBCJR]

Charitable hospitals that treat uninsured children will now be fined and receive harsher scrutiny when applying for non-profit, tax-exempt status.

The Internal Revenue Service’s Section 501 goes into effect under Obamacare. The provision stipulates new financial penalties for charitable, tax-exempt hospitals that treat uninsured poor Americans. Currently, 60 percent of American hospitals fall under this category.

Analysts explained that charity serves as a major deterrent for the uninsured to enroll in Obamacare, so the Obama administration is fining charitable hospitals.

“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, explained John Kartch of Americans for Tax Reform.

Had to see if this is satire or not.

The reason why he is penalizing them is because most of the charitable hospitals are CHRISTIAN!

It is a federal requirement that ER has to treat all who come into the department. Which law is the hospital supposed to follow? Total nonsense.

If a hospital ever refuses to treat an uninsured child, and the child dies, there will be hell to pay. In this life and the next.

Charity means that you get to choose where your helpful money goes.

Liberals think that's unfair and racist, because you will choose to spend your charity in places that they wouldn't.

Therefore, liberals would rather outlaw your charity and confiscate your givings instead as taxes, and then spend it as they see fit instead of you.

The Democrats will NEVER give up on socialized medicine. Obama tipped their hand when he talked about the "100 year" dream.

It's going to take a Republican president and Congress, which won't be easy.

Until then, healthcare provision will be in crisis, and it will also drag the economy even more.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

For example the Shrine Childrens Hospital in Houston?

Yes, Obozo is an evil B_tard.

St. Jude here in Memphis will be hit as well, I expect. For that matter, I guess they all will.

Wonder what all of those Hollyweird *celebrities*, who make their commercials, will think about that. Many of these same celebrities are ones who've advocated for 0SocialistCare :(

This law must be killed. It is designed to destroy US.

WHAT A F-n A(Our President!) is to do this to little Children.

5 Grinches for you Mr. President!!!!!

“Failure to comply”

Is another way of saying “resist and defy.”

“Yes, Obozo is an evil B_tard.”

I think this vile, evil bastard has moved us well beyond the point of sugar-coating or self-censoring the words we can use to describe him and his corrupt administration.

Yes, he is a vile, evil son-of-a-bitch bastard.

Sue me.

You have more faith in the republican party than I do.

Do you think McCain would fix this? How bout Romney? Or crispy kream???

Its going to take tea party conservatives to fix this.

[informavoracious]

Catch 22. You can be tax exempt if you are a charity. But if you continue to provide charity, it is proof your tax exempt status should be revoked.

All "charity" must come through the state. They will determine who is worthy and who is not.

What about the people whose deductibles or copays are too high. Where do they go?

I loathe this administraton with a passion.
