The documentary is a deep dive into the financial, market, and political power of the modern “non-profit” hospital
titled, “Top 82 U.S. Non-Profit Hospitals, Quantifying Government Payments & Financial Assets.” We found that so-called “non-profit” hospitals and their CEOs were getting richer while the American people were getting healthcare poorer.$10 million, $18 million, and even $21.6 million per CEO or other top-paid employee.
$10.6 million went to the top paid executive of Northwestern Memorial HealthCare in Chicago, Illinois. The film singles out UPMC as the poster child for everything wrong with health care, focuses on events from a dozen years ago, and recounts those events with misinformation, incorrect facts, and significant omissionsThe documentary recounts some of UPMC’s business strategies, such as owning their own insurance company. In the mid-2000s, UPMC also bought up local specialty hospitals, giving the company, critics allege, a near monopoly on many areas of healthcare locally.
In 2016, the Pennsylvania governor Tom Corbett and attorney general Josh Shapiro made the two companies sign a consent decree to work together and allow Highmark patients to get care at UPMC. That was set to expire in June 2019.
