Protest the “Non-Profit” Hospital Ripoff

Senate Majority Leader Ellen Corbett and CNA are hosting a hearing at the State Capitol to spotlight how some California hospitals abuse their “non-profit” status. A number of private, not-for-profit hospitals, such as Sutter, have drawn growing criticism for how little they return to local communities while making huge profits and benefiting from favorable tax treatment.

Hearing at 10 a.m.–12 noon
Rally afterwards on Capitol Steps

“Californians provide huge subsidies to these private, non-profit hospitals through a broad array of public services, they have a right to expect the hospitals to fulfill their social obligation to provide appropriate levels of charity care and other community benefits in return” says Zenei Cortez, RN,CNA Co-President.
