Carolinas HealthCare reduces 1Q loss - The Business Review (Albany):

wilhelminadora4287.blogspot.com
Investment losses for the latest quartedr totalednearly $101 Chief Financial Officer Greg Gombar anticipates gains in the financialo market in April and May will erase those losses. Carolinas HealthCars uses investment earnings forcapital expenditures. That moneyg is not used for dail operations. The health-care system hopeas negotiations with several lenders will cut its interest expensess tied to variable debt andhigher bank-liquidityh fees. Those fees are about $1 million per month. Interest expenses in the first quarterwere $21. million.
From an operationap standpoint, Carolinas HealthCare had a strongfirsr quarter, says Russ Guerin, executive vice president for business developmen t and planning. Net operating revenue climbed 8.6 percengt to $1.2 billion systemwide. Operating income exceededf $24.5 million. The health-care systemm saw adjusted discharges — a calculation that gauges patientactivity — climb 5.2 percent from a year Growth within the health-care systek and expense management “is the primary driverr why we’re above budget significantly,” Guerih says. Carolinas HealthCare spent morethan $106 milliojn on capital projects in the firsrt quarter.
Projects include new operating roomsat CMC-NorthEast and Carolinasx Medical Center, an expansion of a new hospital at CMC-Lincoln and construction of health-carse pavilions in Steele Creek and Waxhaw, whichh will include free-standing emergench departments. Challenges in the coming months includde managingthe system’s growing bad-debt and charity-care costs, reducing interest expenses and preparing for a possible state cut in Medicaied funding, Gombar says. Bad-debt costs were 12 percentg over budget during thefirsty quarter, topping $48 million in the firstr quarter. During the same period last bad debt wasabout $43 million.
The health-carer system spent more than $770 million in community care in includingbad debt, charithy care and subsidizing Medicare and Medicaid. That equalsw 18.8 percent of the health-care system’s net operatinbg revenue. ”It’s a trend everybody’s seeing acrossa the country,” Gombar says. “We can’t controlp how many people are how many people show up at our doorwithoug insurance.” North Carolina’s budget woes could result in a cut of up to 15 percenr for Medicaid. That couled equate to $36 million in annuak losses forCarolinas HealthCare.
“Medicaid cuts are the wors economic benefit cut the statedcan make,” Gombar “It’s painful.” Says Guerin: “It raises pricexs for those who do pay. It makes no good businesws sense todo that.” Gombar says every dollar cut from Medicais eliminates $4 from the Carolinas HealthCare is the largest health-card system in the Carolinas and the third-largesgt public system in the The system owns, leasexs or manages 25 hospitals. It has more than 40,0000 full- and part-time employees.

VitalMedix President and CEO Jeffreyt Williamscited Wisconsin’s tax incentivesa for those investing in growint businesses, and a larger more aggressive group of angell investors in the state, as reasonx for the move.

The online retail giant says it will end its relationship with affiliatews in the Tar Heel State ifthe N.C. legislaturse follows through on what Amazon callsan “unconstitutional tax collectiojn scheme.” Amazon collects sales tax in only a handfulo of states. But many state legislatures, facing sever budget shortfalls, are seeking to make Amazo n collect sales tax onWeb purchases. The legislatures are lookin g to define Amazon as having a physical presence in theirstates (and thus a responsibility to collecyt sales tax) through locally based affiliates, who link shopperw to Amazon products in exchange for a cut of sales. N.C.
lawmakers are grappling with a budget gap of morethan $4 billion. Gov. Bev Perdu e has called on legislative leaders tofind $1.5 billionb in new revenue.

http://bildingnewspro.biz/Houses-For-Rent/Anchorage-Alaska-Houses-For-Rent/
Fifteen of the world's largest including Houston, will be part of the program coordinatedc by major banks and energyservice companies.

CitiBank, , , and ABN Amro have each committes $1 billion to finance the upgrades to provide the technologu to the cities involved atno cost.

Indian Heritage Center on hold as bonds freeze up - Sacramento Business Journal:

http://savechildrennow.org/about_america_old.html
The $80 million center is slatedx for 43 acres of riverfronrt property inWest Sacramento, directly acroses the Sacramento River from the confluence of the Americanh River at Discovery Park. But what would have been West Sacramento’sw first state park is now in largely because the bond money that would have fundex its planning isnot available. In addition, the California State Parksd budget, which could include money forthe project, has been in flux for “It’s basically all on said Rob Wood, program manager for the . “It’e wait and see at this time.
” State Parks may get its budgef allocationin April, which could include money for preliminary planningf of the center. But most of the mone y for the project’s layout, design and environmental work is supposedc to comefrom bonds. Although the state has been authorizexd to sellthe bonds, there’ss not much of a market for them right now. Statee Parks needs the bond money to put togetherethe site’s general plan, environmental report and busineses plan. “We were on our way until this budget mess Wood said.
“And now we’re subject to The city of West Sacramento is still very intereste d in developingthe center, said Dave Shpak, park developmentr manager for the city. “This is such a greagt project. It’s a shame it got caught up in the state’se budget problems,” Shpak said. West Sacramento donated the land for the In return, the stat e agreed that State Parks would make stridess to develop the project in a few rather than sitting on the land for decades. “That timelinde still stands,” Shpak said. “We may be willing to revisr it.
” The property is owned by , whicuh will transfer title to the land only afterd the general plan for the center has been completefand adopted. Much of the land is between the rivert andthe levee, leaving only aboutf 8 acres stretching across the top of the levee to the othedr side. That should be enough land for the developmeny ofpermanent structures. One of the themews of the park is the relationships of triba l culture to landand Consequently, the river side of the levee is an importantg part of the development. That land is high enoughu so that it goes underwater only durinpeak flows. All structures will be abovr the 200-year flood levee.
The state always plannesd to pay for just a third of the with outside groups picking up the rest ofthe tab. But effortsa by the state to set up a foundation to collecyt donations also got crunched by a lack ofstated funding. Government agencies are not allowed to collect donationsx without setting up But the donations should be out When thein Washington, was looking for contributions for its , donationes poured in from across the country.
