Question

A proposal to eliminate the tax deduction for charitable contributions would cause a negative impact on

		physicians’ salaries.
		the number of patients paying out of pocket for cosmetic surgery.
		the number of self pay hospital patients.
		hospitals budget for philanthropic donations.
		nurses duties.

Answer 1

Option D. Hospitals budget for philanthropic donations.

A proposal to eliminate the tax deduction for charitable contributions would cause a negative impact on the hospital's budget for philanthropic donations. This is because as tax deductions for charitable contributions are eliminated, the money coming in the hospital for charitable purposes will fall and this will ultimately reduce the hospital's budget for philanthropic donations.
