Thank you. And there is a WSJ article linked that talks about nonprofit hospitals having high executive comp and funding new projects. It does also say:
> To be sure, some nonprofit hospitals, particularly ones in inner cities that handle large numbers of uninsured patients, remain under financial strain and are struggling to keep their doors open.
And it is also worth mentioning that in some (many?) systems, 'providers' refers to physicians who aren't part of the hospital system in which they work. So the doctors can be doing just fine while the hospital is barely scraping by.
