The governor just signed HB 1381, the provider tax. Her signature makes law an act that increases your federal tax burden. The good news is that the bill “sunsets” in 2014 and hopefully this corporate handout of your money will no longer be available to the big hospitals. I eagerly await the lowering of prices at the big hospitals as this is supposed to eliminate “cost-shifting.”….RIGHT!
