The hospitals in my area are non profit, my insurance company is non profit, I mean, where is the money hungry corporation in this story?


>I mean, where is the money hungry corporation in this story?

In the staffing and service provider companies the nonprofit funnels its money into. And let's not even mention the cost of medical devices and medicine.


There are almost certainly physicians groups operating out of that hospital that are for-profit and likely owned by PE. A large part of your bill is going to come from them.


Non-profit doesn't mean the board/CEO/etc aren't getting paid HUGE salaries..


But that's not really a 'corporation's fault', right?

And your theory is that the reason medical care is so outrageously priced is so the CEO and the board of directors can get exorbitant salaries?
