For health-law students who are struggling, or who (like mine) are planning to struggle, to understand the federal law of tax exemptions as it applies to hospitals, life just got a whole lot easier. In connection with the Senate Finance Committee's Sept. 13 hearings on the same subject, the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation published "Present Law And Background Relating To The Tax-Exempt Status Of Charitable Hospitals (JCX-40-06)." It's almost a mile wide (there's nothing to speak of about campaign activity, for example) and an inch deep (intermediate sanctions alone could fill a small book; here it gets a paragraph). In the spirit of law students' favorite, the nutshell, however, it's a good big-picture document.
