The following charts give a picture of how much Texas hospitals depend on government funding to pay the cost of serving poor and uninsured patients. Uncompensated care information is obtained from a hospitals Medicare cost report. Costs are estimated based on a hospitals gross charges and overall cost-to-charge ratio. The reports from individual hospitals are voluntary, which explains why some big hospitals like John Peter Smith in Fort Worth are not included.
