The 10 Non-Profit Non-Public Hospital Organizations generated Total Bottom Line Net Income in 2013 which was an amazingly high 11.1% of Total Operating Revenues, which was up a bit from the comparable also amazingly high 9.6% Income Margin in 2012. For the most recent 4 years combined, this Total Bottom Line Profit Margin was a still much too high 8.9%.
The main drivers of this sky high 11.1% Total Profit Margin in 2013 were Clearwater-based BayCare Health System at 24.6%, Coral Gables-based Baptist Health South Florida at 17.1%, Jacksonville-based Baptist Health System at 13.3%, Lakeland-based Lakeland Regional Health at 11.3% and Gainesville-based Shands Teaching Hospitals and Clinics at 10.9%.
All five of them had Bottom Line Profit Margins exceeding that of the 30 Dow Industrials combined. If I were treated at any Hospital that is part of one of these 5 Florida Hospital Organizations, I wouldn't be happy with their outrageous pricing, which bolstered their Bottom Line Profits and was also added to both their Net Assets and treasure chest of Investments in Stocks and Bonds.
Not included in the below Hospital Organizations is Clearwater, FL-headquartered Shriners Hospitals For Children, which hasn't disclosed its December 2013 audited financial statements yet on its website. For the year ended December 2012, its Bottom Line Net Income was $600 mil, which was a monstrous 108.8% of its Total Revenues and Other Support.
Below are the Bottom Line Net Income and Total Operating Revenues for each of these 15 Florida Non-Profit Hospital Organizations for 2013, for 2012 and for the most recent 4 years combined:

There is a very positive aspect to these excessively high Bottom Line Profits of these Florida Non-Profit Hospital Organizations. These incredibly high Profits are getting added to the Net Assets (Financial Strength) of these Florida Hospital Organizations.
Thus a key beneficiary of this should be Florida citizens electing to buy health insurance on the Health Insurance Exchange. This exceptional Net Asset growth driven by these exceedingly high Bottom Line Profits gives these Florida Hospital Organizations the financial flexibility to moderate their pricing for hospital and other health care procedures in their negotiations with health insurance companies which ultimately determines what insurance premium prices are set at by health insurance companies on the Health Insurance Exchange.
And armed with audited financial data concerning the excessively high profits earned by these large Florida Non-Profit Hospital Organizations in the past 4 years, Health Insurance Companies should be able to do a much better job in representing their policy holders, including those getting Health Insurance on the Health Insurance Exchange.
The State of Florida is being very transparent with its citizens by having available for review at its State Dept of Health website (MyFlorida.com) very detailed financial information on each of its 173 Hospitals. This Operating Statement information presented was for 2011.
Overall, these 173 Florida Hospitals had a Total Bottom Line Net Income of $2.047 bil in 2011 which was 6.6% of their Total Operating Revenues of $31.156 bil. This is much higher than the Total Operating Income of $1.202 bil in 2011, which was 3.7% of Total Operating Revenues.
These 173 Florida Hospitals' Total Bottom Line Net Income of $2.047 bil in 2011 was burdened with an Earnings Charge of a massive $4.319 bil due to Total Provisions for Bad Debts. In addition, their Total Uncompensated Charity Care Charges Foregone were another massive $6.217 bil in 2011.

As you can see in the above chart, 13 of the 173 Florida Hospitals had Bottom Line Net Income Profit Margins above 22%, 27 of them above 15% and 52 of them above 10%. And 2011 was a substantially lower profits year for Florida Hospitals than either 2013 or 2012.
If Florida were to elect full Medicaid expansion, all Florida Hospitals would substantially boost their profits. This is where the Provision for Bad Debts and Uncompensated Charity Care Charges Foregone are critical for proper analysis.
Let me just layout the Bottom Line Net Income, Total Operating Revenues and the related Bad Debt Provisions and Uncompensated Charity Care Charges Foregone for a handful of larger Florida Hospitals in 2011:

Reviewing the above chart, the first Hospital.....Safety Net Jackson Memorial Hospital.....had a massive Operating Loss which was funded by Miami-Dade County citizens and by tourists, resulting in a Bottom Line Net Loss of a substantially lower $33.891 mil. Being a Safety Net Hospital, look how incredibly high its Bad Debts Provision of $634.611 mil is. If Florida fully expands Medicaid, a very significant portion of that huge Bad Debts Provision of $634.611 mil would get eliminated, thereby substantially increasing both Operating Revenues and Bottom Line Net Income. Likewise, with full Medicaid expansion, a portion of the $448.046 mil of Uncompensated Charity Care Charges Foregone would result in bolstering both Operating Revenues and Bottom Line Net Income.
Now let's analyze the second Florida Hospital shown above the Broward Health Medical Center, which has a Bottom Line Net Income of $45.534 mil in 2011, resulting in a Bottom Line Net Income Margin of a high 10.9%. It also has $176.721 mil of Bad Debts Provision which has brought down its Bottom Line Net Income to $45.534 mil. Further it has Uncompensated Charity Care Charges Foregone of another $201.337 mil. If Florida fully expands Medicaid and nothing else were to change, this Florida Hospital's Bottom Line Profit % surges from 10.9% to certainly way north of 30%.
And this is the real beauty of full Medicaid expansion. It increases every Hospital's profits so much that Hospitals just have to reduce their Hospital charges very substantially and they also will be much more reasonable in negotiating Hospital Charges with Health Insurance Companies. Thus it is only logical that this will also result in much lower Health Insurance Premiums on the Health Insurance Exchange.
Lastly, for Florida citizens who want to be able to better find Hospitals around them, the below chart shows Bottom Line Net Income, Total Operating Revenues, Bad Debts Provision and Total Uncompensated Charity Care Charges Foregone in 2011 for each Florida Hospital, sorted alphabetically by Florida County:
