In a new @Health_Affairs article, @BakerCHB's Derek Jenkins and @HealthEconTX found that mean hospital profits grew from 2012 to 2019, but this increase was not associated with the provision of more charity care by nonprofit hospitals.

We analyzed data from the @NASHPhealth Hospital Cost Tool and found that nonprofit hospitals use their proceeds to boost cash reserves rather than provide more charity care. https://t.co/jRWDPkeMwP

CHB Fellow Vivian Ho @HealthEconTX and CHB Post Doc Derek Jenkins have a new article out on Health Affairs today. You can read the full article at https://t.co/YIn9UVpu1o @BakerCHB

[Eric Reinhart @_Eric_Reinhart]

New analysis: big growth in “nonprofit hospital” profits and cash reserves from 2012–2019, but no corresponding increase in charity care. US healthcare’s reliance on private “charity” as a substitute for rights guaranteed by public systems is grotesque. https://t.co/W61pXSRyHs

JUST OUT: Two new bills introduced in the Texas Legislature could jeopardize the care received by Medicaid patients, writes @BakerCHB's @HealthEconTX. She explains why the legislation would weaken county-owned insurance plans and raise Texans’ tax bills: https://t.co/umSxrme0Op

Vaccines have been protecting us for decades.

Polio, measles, diphtheria, smallpox and more were eradicated or nearly eradicated thanks to vaccines.

But during the pandemic, 67 million children missed out on life-saving routine vaccines.

It’s time to #BuildBackImmunity.

Great to see our students promoting vaccine awareness at @RiceUniversity! Kudos to my colleague @kirstinmatthews and the @BakerCHB!
