Senate-Passed Stimulus Bill Does Not Include Philanthropy Measures

The other amendment would have required the IRS to study the activities of for-profit hospitals and focus on the amount of uncompensated care they provide.

Senator Grassley, who is a member of the House-Senate conference committee that will now work to reconcile the bill, will try to revive his proposals during the upcoming negotiations, said Jill Gerber, a spokeswoman for Mr. Grassley.
