    I think their practices are abhorrent, but their non-profit status is irrelevant.

    Non-profit basically just means that any profits don’t get kept by the owners. The hospital still needs to get paid for its services to operate.

      I’m pretty familiar with what it means to be non-profit. I’ve worked for one, and I realized pretty quickly that the only reason the organization existed was to funnel money to the director.

      The people at the top of the food chain can still get hefty salaries while calling the business a non-profit.
