The amount of charity care provided by government and nonprofit hospitals falls short of the obligation implied by their favorable tax treatment, according to a new study published in the April issue of
Health Affairs by researchers at Johns Hopkins University s Carey Business School and Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Using Medicare data from 2018, the study compares charity care at 1,024 government, 2,709 nonprofit, and 930 for-profit hospitals. Cumulatively, nonprofit hospitals were found to spend $2.3 on charity care out of every $100 in total expenses incurred, less than government ($4.1) or for-profit ($3.8) hospitals.

Questions remain on J&J Covid-19 vaccine rollout as authorization decision approaches
Johnson & Johnson says that it has 4 million doses of its Covid-19 vaccine ready to ship “immediately” once it receives emergency use authorization, which could happen this week. But as the decision nears, it’s unclear when or where those doses will be delivered.
During a briefing on Wednesday, White House Covid coordinator Jeff Zients said the J&J vaccine’s distribution would be similar to the current allocations process across jurisdictions, pharmacies and community health centers. When asked earlier in the week, the White House did not disclose its plans, although an administration official said they have worked closely with the company to formulate a distribution outline.
