New England across the line

The nation’s hospitals within 0.05 of CMS’s line that this site estimates, New England’s in full ink: scores a hair apart, money all or nothing.

Figure 4. 14 of the nation’s 141 hospitals within 0.05 of CMS’s line that this site estimates are New England’s: 7 cut, about $4.6M by this site’s estimate, and 7 not cut, where a cut would have been about $6.5M.

3 more within 0.05 have no estimate, and Maryland’s 2 are exempt.
