Reply to comment by Airbornequalified in Pennsylvania hospital wants to send woman in coma to Dominican Republic, against her family’s wishes by WITFnews

So non-profits pay all the property, state income and sales tax?

So when I give a non-profit ID # to stores when I buy stuff for the non-profit charity fund-raising group I'm affiliated with, we're NOT getting the benefit of claiming to be a non-profit?

(I was under the impression non-profit health care providers in PA had to provide a certain amount of charity care, but sadly, I was very wrong.)

They do not pay them all. They do get tax benefits for being non-profit. But non-profit doesn’t mean charity. It means they basically can’t make profits, so if they made more in a year than they spent, they have to basically spend that money (such as for upgrades, or bonuses)
