(Washington, D.C.) -- Iowa U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa is joining a bipartisan effort to review non-profit hospitals' use of their tax exempt status.
Grassley is one of several U.S. Senators calling on the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration and the IRS to review non-profit hospitals' use of their tax-exempt status. The senators say they've seen recent reports suggesting some non-profit hospitals have used their tax exempt status to restrict care and increase patient costs. Grassley, a Republican, is partnering with Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Raphael Warnock of Georgia, as well as fellow Republican Bill Cassidy of Louisiana.
The full letter from the group of senators is available online.
