While hospitals owned by nonprofits like Advocate have long qualified for property tax exemptions, stand-alone outpatient centers usually pay property taxes. The dispute comes at a time when hospitals are opening outpatient centers across metropolitan Chicago amid pressure to bring down healthcare costs.
I think every hospital should pay property tax’s for at least police and fire. If there is a fire who puts the fire out? We just built a $505 Mil hospital in Rockford with tons of tax incentives and getting zero in tax’s. They are and making a lot of money. Their response is that that give charity healthcare to some and deserve the tax break. I donate to charities and church. That means I should not pay any property tax’s also. Fair is Fair.

Advocate is the most profit driven non-profit I’ve ever seen in my life.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
