These 129 Wisconsin Hospitals generated Total Bottom Line Net Income of an exceptional 9.8% of Total Operating Revenues in 2012, which even exceeded that of the 30 Dow Industrials combined.
The only problem with these exceptional operating results in 2012 was that instead of taking the high road and responsibly reducing their Patient Service Pricing, these Wisconsin Hospitals, which predominately are Non-Profit Hospitals, elected to retain these excessively high Bottom Line Profits, which also added to both their Net Assets and treasure chest of Investments in Stocks and Bonds.

There is a very positive aspect to these excessively high Bottom Line Profits of these Wisconsin Hospitals, which are predominately Non-Profit Hospitals. These incredibly high Profits are getting added to the Net Assets (Financial Strength) of these Wisconsin Hospital Organizations.
Thus a key beneficiary of this should be Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin Hospitals 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 this very detailed financial data concerning the excessively high profits earned by each of these individual Wisconsin Hospitals, 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.
