You'll never find a more greedy entity than a not-for-profit hospital.

That’s absurd. Look how much they give in charity care

IHC gave me free medical care. They deserve a shout out for that.

Those metrics used are influenced by the healthier population that they serve

They will go after patients who don't pay.

Prettiest pig of the litter.

Agree. There are some rumblings that the govt will re-institute (or allow)

Why do they charge people without insurance more than they do insurance company?

Over inflate charity care numbers. Simple

Jun 5, 3:03pm

Those numbers are overinflated. Ever notice how much they

Yeah. I used to think charity care meant helping people get needed healthcare they couldn’t pay for.

Yea, kind of similar to when admin pulls out numbers of how much I'm costing

It's sad to me you believe these things.

Charity Care is a misnomer in many cases. Charity writeoffs are done when the hospital/health system know they are not

IHC is greedy. Never met a doc who liked their admin or liked working there.

Yeah, initially I was kind of hopeful that PE would actually be a good thing

I still don’t understand why Intermountain is expanding into surrounding states. Seems like a mess.

Jun 5, 4:00pm

With that being said, to think that IHC is worse than HCA or PE firms who gobble up hospitals and medical practices is

Jun 5, 4:07pm

I agree with that.

cougfanz

Jun 5, 4:11pm

Completely agree.

Jun 5, 4:19pm

IHC sucks but HCA and PE groups in medicine are exponentially worse. 100% agree

Not sure. What I was told is that they need to think of creative ways to spend

cougfanz

They could spend their money by keeping health care affordable - YEAH RIGHT

I guess that is a current campaign with the new IH branding. But…

At a corporate level, IHC sucks. At a caregiver level - nurses, etc. 5-stars
