Tax For Financing Georgia Hospitals Expires Next Year

The Power Of A Name At the Center of Medicaid Debate by Jim Galloway.  The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.  December 5, 2012.

The so-called "bed tax" is set to expire next year.  This tax is vital to financing many Georgia rural hospitals and  hospitals serving poor people generally.  Extension of the tax will be a important focus of the Georgia General Assembly when it meets in January.  Some argue for extension of tax while others, particularly anti-tax activists, are skeptical.
