SPONSOR: Save Our States Action

Giant hospital systems get millions from government programs and tax breaks while spending lavishly on executive perks, foreign investments, art collections, and flashy sponsorship deals.

The latest campaign from Save Our States Action examines Texas hospitals like Memorial Hermann, Mission Regional Medical Center, and Barrio Comprehensive Family Health Care. It reveals ritzy spending on exorbitant salaries, fancy art, discounted "birth packages" for foreigners, and charging patients full price for drugs the hospitals buy at deep discounts. Taxpayers are counting on lawmakers to take a closer look at nonprofit hospitals that have forgotten their charitable mission.
