Analyze the legal differences between healthcare organizations with a for-profit, not-for-profit, and tax-exempt status at the federal level. What should be the benefits to a community for having a tax-exempt healthcare institution? Discuss examples of the specific benefits that might be given. At the state and local levels, when an institutions charitable contributions become less than the value of its property tax exemption, should the healthcare organization lose its tax-exempt status? Why or why not? Given the new healthcare reforms regulations, taxation of unrelated business income, state and local property taxes, and the nebulous definition of charitable purposes, should all favorable treatment for not-for-profit healthcare organizations be eliminated? Why or why not? Support your response with 2-3 sources from the peer-reviewed literature in the A.T. Still Memorial Library in addition to your text. Your post should have 400 words. Use USA Journal scholarly cites. In your references.
