Denver-area hospitals made a record $2 billion in profits in 2018, according to a new report bit.ly/2ZZIfb8 via John Ingold ☀️

Colorado hospitals are making record profits overcharging patients, while bringing in more than enough money to cover uncompensated care and shortages left from Medicaid and Medicare reimbursements. And they aren’t passing along those savings to Coloradans.

I am excited to work with the data we receive as a result of those bills! Thank you Representative for your support!

Colorado hospitals — under increased scrutiny — raised prices and saw more profit, new report says bit.ly/2TQp5Bb via John Ingold ☀️ #copolitics #coleg

Rebalancing healthcare. Pay attention to the work of @doracolorado @mikeconwaydoi John Bartholomew “Here. Not There”: Rebalancing Health Systems Toward Primary Care | Milbank Memorial Fund @pbgh_updates milbank.org/2020/02/here-n…

BREAKING: Colorado has a bill to make health care less expensive and available to everyone. Yet a highly profitable health care industry is opposing what people want by wide margins. denverpost.com/2020/02/15/pri…

"(Colorado Hospitals) can cover their costs if reimbursed at 143 percent of Medicare rates...The study also concluded that hospitals across the nation, on average, cover the cost of providing care to patients at 115 percent." #healthcare #coleg #copolitics stateofreform.com/featured/2020/…

Keep hearing from hospitals testifying in opposition to the #COoption that they want to reduce costs/improve value for Coloradans. Then why have charges and profits continually increased? We need more than words to improve #cohealth affordability. #coleg

Hospitals in Colorado have the second highest profit margins in the country. It’s time to end the status quo and bring relief to Colorado consumers. We’re fighting right now to lower health care costs to Coloradans. The #ColoradoOption is big. #cohealth #coleg

Oh, you know, groups that stand up for consumers and patients like CCHI @cohealthaccess.bsky.social and Healthier Colorado #CoPolitics #ColoradoOption

Despite fears, Colorado’s biggest hospitals made money during the pandemic -- in part due to investment income from a revving stock market, federal stimulus dollars and the return to more regular operations last summer, John Ingold ☀️ reports coloradosun.com/2021/08/18/hos…
