✦ Synopsis

The 43-million figure is from Lewin's [1997] article, "Hospitals Serving Poor Struggle to Retain Patients." 2 The Lewin, Miller, and Echles study [1988], sponsored the Volunteer Trustees of Not-for-Profit Hospitals, shows that nonprofit hospitals provide for uncompensated care (a category that includes both charity care and bad debt) than their investor-owned, profit-seeking competitors. Yet, it also shows that uncompensated care provided by investor-owned hospitals ranges from 2.7 percent in California to 4.9 percent in Florida-hardly an insignificant amount-without the benefit of a property tax exemption. Tax policy apparently has little to do with actual results.
