RE: Illinois Halts Inquiries of Nonprofit Hospitals
Letters to the Editor
The New York Times
September 26, 2011
This letter is a response to the article “Illinois Halts Inquiries of Nonprofit Hospitals” authored by Bruce Jaspen.
Unemployment has surged the state of Illinois in recent years, leaving 1.91 million residents of Illinois uninsured. The collection of property taxes must be combined with an extensive reform on behalf of health care, insurance and the taxation system.
Furthermore while the tax revenues are essential to the maintenance and improvement of the state’s infrastructure, the property tax exemption should remain until the years 2014, when mandatory health insurance for all is expected to take effect.
In the future recommendations, there must be a distinction among the uninsured and those who receive charity. High percentages of uninsured in Illinois and in the United States should be considered as a defunct in institutional structure rather than a few outliers in a scatter plot.
Sincerely,
