Non-profit hospitals receive tax exemptions (up to ~$37.4 billion/yr) to provide “community benefits”

In new @JAMAHealthForum study, we find that the non-profit tax system is *structurally discriminatory*

Socially vulnerable communities benefit less…

Many questions in the comments about, “what does your sexuality have to do with being a doctor?”

Many of these are trolled, to be sure, but for the folks genuinely asking, some brief thoughts in a 🧵…

Umm, no 🤦

Read about this new NIH/NHLBI cohort called the Multiethnic Observational Study in American Asian and Pacific Islander Communities (MOSAAIC)

So much to learn from studying AsA & NHPI, and how to achieve health equity in these underrepresented communities https://t.co/MxVta4jyqm
