1st, love your username lol.

UPMC is this region's largest corporation. They should be paying their taxes same as any other local corporation.

I'm pointing this out just to further illustrate how awful they are in the context of the discussion of UPMC sucks, lol.

And to be completely fair AHN, Pitt, and CMU are also in the same boat when it comes to flagrant abuse of non profit status. They should all be paying taxes. Full stop.

Should all nonprofits pay taxes? Why should these nonprofits pay taxes and not others? Does it have to do with size?

They're not non profits

They're making profits in the BILLIONS. And they are not giving back to the community on the order of billions, are they?

That's the justification for not paying taxes. . .they give back to the community. But they do not.

That’s not what nonprofit means at all.

I work at UPMC and they are scummy, but this is wrong.
