Georgia across the line

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

Figure 4. 7 of the nation’s 141 hospitals within 0.05 of CMS’s line that this site estimates are Georgia’s: 3 cut, about $881K by this site’s estimate, and 4 not cut, where a cut would have been about $1.3M.

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