Columbus Hospital CEO: Hospital Revenue Tax "flawed"
Columbus Community Hospital CEO Ed Harding testified in front of the Joint Committee on Finance, saying Doyle's proposed 1 percent gross revenues tax on hospitals is "genuine," but is flawed and hopes the committee will take it out. Harding continued and said that the tax will "destabilize" the Medicaid program and funding.
He instead hoped the committee would pass a proposed cigarette tax increase.
