The rising costs of providing quality healthcare as well as
pressures on revenue from both government insurance
programs and a larger uninsured population have undermined
the financial strength of hospitals across the country. Many
stand-alone hospitals have sought shelter in partnerships
with stronger organizations. The complex regulatory scheme
in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) has
further incentivized stand-alone hospitals to merge with larger
hospital systems in an effort to cut costs and increase profitability. |
