Well, I suppose you can rest easy on that count. Kaiser is principally a non-profit.

> principally a non-profit.

I hate to break it to you, but "non-profit" doesn't mean what you literally think it means.

Also, KPMGs are indeed "for-profit" while Kaiser Permanente as a whole is constituted as a "consortium" of both types.

Do you suppose thats why they wrote "principally"?

You're absolutely wrong!

And here is why: I guarantee you that the nurses are working in the "for-profit" units, and also, that still betrays ignorance of what "non-profit" actually means, which is the load-bearing topic of this thread.

		Kaiser nurses by and large work for KFH, which is non-profit.
