Contrary to Ohio Hospital Association (OHA) claims that the Ohio General Assembly must expand Medicaid to fund care for the poor, most of the hospital lobby’s members would have recorded positive net income in 2011 even with no charity care offsets.
President Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), a central component of which Governor John Kasich seeks to implement by expanding Medicaid eligibility, was written to turn care providers into Medicaid lobbyists. Although Medicaid dramatically under-pays for services rendered, PPACA phases out federal funding that currently offsets some of the charity care hospitals are required to provide.
Several highlights from the Ohio hospital data in the following table:
- Of 88 hospitals and networks, 26 reported no direct offsetting funds for charity care in their latest IRS filings
- Only 16 of the 88 hospitals and networks reported negative revenue minus expenses – or would have, absent charity care offsets
- Only 30 hospitals and networks reported charity care offsetting funds that exceeded 1 percent of their total revenue
For more details about the misleading Medicaid expansion arguments posed by OHA and Governor Kasich – and additional financial data from a dozen of Ohio’s largest healthcare providers – refer to this March 5 Media Trackers analysis.
All OHA members whose latest IRS 990 reports were available on GuideStar are listed below. Where denoted by an asterisk, amounts are from fiscal year 2010 reports; all other figures are from 2011 reports.

For example, Dublin Methodist Hospital, Grant Medical Center, Riverside Methodist Hospital, and several other OHA members are subsidiaries of OhioHealth, and many Cleveland-area care providers are part of the Cleveland Clinic network.
