An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Make Hospitals Offer Charity Care Based on Income

7 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

I am your constituent and I want you to know that hospitals, especially tax exempt nonprofit ones, do a poor job of offering charity care. Washington State has a new law that forces hospitals (all of them) to offer assistance to those with low incomes. Here is a link to that law, https://www.atg.wa.gov/charitycare#:~:text=The%20law%20ensures%20all%20Washingtonians,assistance%20depending%20on%20the%20hospital. I want you to consider implementing this at the federal level. At the very least apply it to those that get federal tax exemptions, since there is no minimum for charity care in the IRS code. Thank you.
