title: In the same boat. For-profit, not-for-profit hospitals face peril of tax reform.
abstract: The ongoing, escalating rift between for-profit and not-for-profit hospitals could be the crowbar that pries open the Pandora's box of tax reform, an issue so complicated and fraught with political peril it makes Medicare reform look easy. While everyone waits for congressional leaders to signal their intentions, people from both ownership sectors are laying the groundwork for future action.
