1. The Green Mountain Care Board reviews each of the 14 hospitals’ budgets annually, according to the report. Exceeding revenue targets is allowed but can lead to greater scrutiny of hospitals’ budgetary decisions.
2. The board set a two-year revenue growth rate of 8.6 percent, according to the report. Hospital leaders argued that would not be enough to continue existing operations without service cuts.
3. Board members said they are concerned about healthcare affordability for small businesses and families who are trying to manage inflation’s impact on their budget, according to the report.
