A lot just gets sucked up by 3rd parties of all stripes. Only ~20% of hospitals are for profit institutions for example.

Non-profit doesn't mean money-hating, though

No but it directly contradicts OP's claim of "profit-seeking interests".

		Individuals in such hospitals can still very much seek profit.

My daughter’s classmate’s father is a head of a non-profit hospital.

They have a 6k sqft house with a basketball court, pool and a pool house in the prime location in West Los Angeles.

They had to join two lots to build to their liking.

		We call that "pulling an Altman" these days.

>Only ~20% of hospitals are for profit institutions for example.

And the other 80% are little to no more efficient in terms of dollars input vs services rendered.

		I am merely commenting that profit seeking is not a sufficient explanation.
