Commission on Taxpayer Funded Hospital Districts established in March 2011
Created to assess and make recommendations on the role of hospitals districts and whether it is in the public’s best interest to have government entities operating hospitals
For-profit hospital companies have been actively acquiring stand-alone not-for-profits, a trend that is not expected to cease anytime soon, nor one that is necessarily unwelcome by the State government
Massachusetts’ unique health insurance model (e.g. RomneyCare) positions it as a testing ground for health care reform readiness strategies
____________________Sources: Industry publications and periodicals.
State and local governments are beginning to view for-profit hospitals as a welcome new source of tax revenue.
Illinois Illinois’s Department of Revenue is scrutinizing, and in some instances revoking, hospitals’
property tax exemption due to alleged inadequate charitable care levels
Private Equity and Health Care
• Leverage is a common way to fund acquisitions
• Healthcare companies issued over 7% of all high yield debt in 2010
Hospitals tend to move through cycles of levering up to make acquisitions, then spend the next few years using their free cash flow to de-lever and create balance sheet capacity for
the next round of acquisition growth.
