Hospitals don't contribute to the tax base.

You have no idea about taxes or life do you? Hence why you are probably financially in a hell hole and complaining about a children's hospital.

Doing quite well, thanks for caring. Government buildings and non-profits are exempt from property taxes. About 59% of Hartford's property isn't taxed due to this, including the hospitals. In theory, PILOT would compensate for this, but in addition to undervaluing property it has never been fully funded.
