Interesting. This has implication for other hospital systems (UPMC) if the rulings are upheld.

The ruling was from a while ago; not seeing any appeal docketed higher up.

"However, Rodriguez is realistic about what comes next. Considering the likelihood that Tower Health will appeal the decision to a higher court — they have until March 12 to file a notice of appeal — Rodriguez is not counting his additional tax dollars just yet."

Article says they have a few more months to appeal. Maybe by mid year we'll have a better answer.

The implication is they charge us higher prices for services. It’s robbing Peter to pay Paul.
It sounds good until you consider the consequences. It will also have implications for any nonprofit that charges a fee like museums and the symphony. The state constitution is vague on the issue so the courts are just going to make up whatever they want

The implication is that it simply goes out of business like so many other smaller hospitals lately.

They have not been having good years.
