When you look at the above list, the thing that sticks out is that 7 of the top 10 are Teaching Hospitals.
A key reason why 7 of the top 10 with the highest Hospital Operating Income as Percentage of Total Operating Revenues are Teaching Hospitals is that the US Government gives substantial subsidies to these Teaching Non-Profit Hospitals.
Many companies in the private sector would just love to have a bottom line Net Income as a Percentage of Total Operating Revenues of 9.00%. There are so many that don't.
My recommendation here is for the US Government to significantly reduce the annual subsidies that it gives to Teaching Hospitals. This is a much fairer way to reduce US Government Spending than to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security Benefits.
