Community Benefit Spending is a requirement of 501(c)3, aka nonprofit, hospitals in order to maintain their nonprofit tax-exempt status.

After reviewing the background materials, draft a paper that addresses the following:
- What are the expectations of hospitals regarding Community Benefit Spending as established by policy?
- What efforts have been taken by states to ensure that hospitals are adhering to these expectations?

- Assess how your state performed during this time.
