Hospital Tax
WHAT is the problem?
Ohio’s hospital community is fighting to reduce the state hospital tax by $150 million.
WHY should Ohioans care?
The tax is costing Ohio jobs and hurting one of the few growing sectors of Ohio’s economy.
HOW can legislators and the governor help?
1) Subtract the costs of Medicare from the tax base.
2) Subtract uncompensated care from the tax base.
3) Reduce the tax rate from 1.61% of costs to 1.5%.
