Every US hospital's Medicare cost report, in plain columns

Why it surfaced

This is unusually transparent data plumbing: every figure comes from a stated cost-report coordinate, and the site publishes which validation checks passed or failed. It says ten figures agree with audited financial statements to the dollar, while keeping the main dataset free, public, and usable without JavaScript or a login.

A public dataset of Medicare cost-report figures for 6,608 US hospitals, including revenue, costs, beds, and margins by fiscal year.
