Gov. Corbett's proposed budget puts hospitals at risk

A Philadelphia Inquirer editorial commented on Gov. Corbett's budget proposal and, in particular, cuts proposed to hospital reimbursements — cuts which could negatively impact the ability of hospitals to draw federal funds. "Such funding is key to the bottom line of a regional anchor like Temple University Hospital, which fulfills the role of a public hospital in the only major U.S. city without one. That makes it a priority to resolve this funding dispute in a way that maximizes federal aid for care for the poor," wrote the editors.
