Private hospital bill returns to committee in Kansas
A bill to require for profit hospital deals to meet community needs returns to the Public Health and Welfare Committee after an amendment by Senator Walker. It would let city or county governments negotiate terms with buyers or builders and mandate indigent care levels while protecting private non profits like Stormont-Vail. Debate centers on statewide for profit networks and potential bureaucratic hurdles.
