  3. MHA Membership 146 charitable, nonprofit community hospitals (consolidation: down from over 200 in 1980s) Small, rural facilities to large urban systems in every corner of state Governed by volunteer board from community Open 24/7/365 to everyone, regardless of ability to pay ($110 million in charity care and $440 million in bad debt in 2005)

  4. MHA Membership “Hospitals should be run more like business.” Alfred P. Sloan, 1955

  5. Hospitals and Other Businesses Similarities Heavy government regulation (DCH, JCAHO, CMS, NRC, etc.) Unionized labor force Exposure to liability (defensive medicine) Intense competition for market share Trend towards mergers/systemization

  6. Hospitals and Other Businesses Differences Information gap: traditionally no “Consumers Report” for hospitals/health care Existence of third-party (insurer) insulates “customer” (patient) from true cost of care Different “customers” pay different rates, and many don’t pay at all Key decision-maker (physician) is typically not employed by hospital, and financial incentives are often misaligned between physician and hospital CON law – supported by MHA, business, and labor

  7. Michigan’s Political Climate • Gov. Granholm re-elected • Attorney General Cox re-elected • Supreme Court: conservative majority maintained • Senate • Republicans control 21 to 17 (lost one seat) • New Majority Leader: Mike Bishop (R-Rochester) • House • Democrats control 58 to 52 • New Speaker: Andy Dillon (D-Redford)
