Where do you think the for-profit money goes? (HINT: it’s in the name.)


Most hospitals in the US actually are non-profits, but that’s really beside the point. Just because something is for profit or non profit does not allow you to immediately conclude anything about its cost. For example, the government in my city built a 3 stall public restroom at a cost of $638,000. At this price, if I wanted to have a restroom built on my behalf, I’d rather hire a for-profit contractor to do it instead of the putatively non profit state.
