Court’s Health-Care Ruling Offers Little-Noticed Threat to Nonprofits - Leslie Lenkowsky - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas: The court’s logic in the health-care case makes it unmistakably clear that lawmakers have the authority to increase government control of tax-exempt groups. Of particular concern, the ruling opens the way to the adoption of measures such as limiting charity tax exemptions to groups that provide direct benefits to the poor and allowing tax deductions only for donors to those groups, proposals that have gained growing support in recent years among some members of Congress and other lawmakers.
The root of the potential problem for nonprofits lies in the way that Chief Justice Roberts crafted his majority opinion to uphold the health-care law.
