Fair Care

Last Wednesday morning, Senator Iris Martinez and the Fair Care Coalition held a hearing on state legislation to hold nonprofit hospitals accountable to their charitable obligations.  

It was my privilege to attend and photograph the event during which Senator Martinez and representatives from the Fair Care Coalition spoke about recent tax exemption denials to three Illinois nonprofit hospitals due to inadequate charity care.

Martinez made it clear that she is not out to punish hospitals, but simply to see that those nonprofit hospitals meet their obligations to serve the uninsured.
