Connecticut hospital health systems contributed $26.2 billion to the state and local economies in 2015, according to a report released by the Connecticut Hospital Association.
“Today they pay nearly 30 times the corporate tax rate,” Jackson said. “The proposed state budget would not only raise taxes further but would open a new door to letting municipalities tax hospitals. This is unacceptable and must stop. We need the state to invest in hospitals, which will strengthen our economy and build a healthier Connecticut.”
Founded in 1919, the CHA represents over 140 hospitals and health-related organizations.
