If anyone is still so deluded as to think Obama actually cares about the
poor, this should extinguish your delusion for good.
The (un)Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare and more truthfully
should be called Lucifercare, will fine charitable hospitals that provide
healthcare for poor people -- for free.
The fines can be as high as $50,000.
After that, Lucifercare -- via its minions in the IRS -- will remove the
nonprofit status from those hospitals. Currently, some 60% of U.S.
hospitals are nonprofits.
Of those, a sizeable number are Catholic. 615 Catholic hospitals
<http://old.usccb.org/comm/cip.shtml#toc10>account for 12.5% of community
hospitals in the United States, and over 15.5% of all U.S. hospital
admissions.
Last year, it was Chief Justice John Roberts’ siding with the four liberals
<http://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2012/07/12/does-congress-have-the-power-to-tax-including-obamacare-tax/>on
the Supreme Court which led to the court's narrow 5-4 ruling that
Lucifercare is a tax and therefore is constitutional. Roberts is a Roman
Catholic. I hope you're happy with yourself, Roberts you POS.
Lucifercare's fining and hounding-int0-extinction charitable
hospitals should tell you, once and for all, that when Obama and all
Democrats say they care about the poor, it's all lip service, otherwise
called **Lies*.*
What they care about is **POWER** -- *their* power.

Patrick Howley reports for The Daily
Caller<http://dailycaller.com/2013/08/08/obamacare-installs-new-scrutiny-fines-for-charitable-hospitals-that-treat-uninsured-people/#ixzz2h3N2Xhyo>,
Aug. 8, 2013:
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<http://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=c53e6f4c-6007-4d12-96fe-f292cfda9b48>,
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<http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidwhelan/2012/09/17/obamacare-could-cause-nonprofit-hospitals-to-lose-their-tax-exempt-status-heres-how/>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 health insurance or else face new
taxes<http://money.cnn.com/2012/06/28/pf/taxes/health_reform_new_taxes/index.htm>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.”
Additionally, the rise in the number of insured Americans under Obamacare
will make it more difficult for tax-exempt hospitals to continue meeting
required
thresholds<http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidwhelan/2012/09/17/obamacare-could-cause-nonprofit-hospitals-to-lose-their-tax-exempt-status-heres-how/>for
treating the uninsured, driving more hospitals into the for-profit
category and yielding more taxable money for the federal government.
“The requirements generally apply to any section 501(c)(3) organization
that operates at least one hospital facility,” according to a “Technical
Explanation”
report<https://www.jct.gov/publications.html?func=startdown&id=3673>of
new Obamacare provisions prepared by the congressional Joint Committee
on Taxation (JCT) on March 21, 2010, the day Obamacare passed.
*Obamacare’s new requirements could slam hospitals with massive $50,000
fines if they fail to meet bureaucrats’ standards.*
“The hospital must disclose in its annual information report to the IRS
(i.e., Form 990 and related schedules) how it is addressing the needs
identified in the assessment and, if all identified needs are not
addressed, the reasons why (e.g., lack of financial or human resources).
Each hospital facility is required to make the assessment widely
available. Failure to complete a community health needs assessment in any
applicable three-year period results in a penalty on the organization of
up to $50,000,” according to the JCT report.
The government is particularly interested in how and why hospitals will be
providing discounted or free care to poor patients, requiring each of them
to “adopt, implement, and widely publicize a written financial assistance
policy” and explain the methods they use to screen applicants for
assistance and how they calculate patients’ bills.
*A delegate working under the Department of Health and Human Services must
review the innumerable reports charitable hospitals file every three years,
along with copies of their audited financial statements.*
After sifting through this massive amount of information, the delegate
and HHS secretary must attempt to identify trends in the hospitals’
spending and send in a comprehensive report of their findings to Congress
by 2015, according to the JCT report.
*Healthcare experts warn that the Obamacare’s new requirements make it
almost impossible for charitable hospitals to navigate treacherous new
waters.*
“Nonprofit hospitals should be advised that the new PPACA requirements
will play a significant role in how they operate and report, specifically
when it comes to billing and collections for services provided to the
uninsured. The new law leaves many gray areas and hospitals themselves will
have to establish eligibility criteria for financial assistance. Following
the new procedures as best they can will ensure the best chance of
maintaining their tax exempt status,” wrote *D. Douglas Metcalf*, partner
at the law firm Lewis and Roca, in a 2013 op-ed
entitled<http://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=c53e6f4c-6007-4d12-96fe-f292cfda9b48>“Will
nonprofit hospitals disappear under Obamacare?”
The White House did not return a request for comment.
