    But hospitals are normally owned by educational institutions or non-profits. Both of my sisters work for non-profit hospitals in a mid-sized city and both of those hospitals are in the top 5 biggest in that city (alongside the university’s hospital, a religious hospital, and a for profit one).

    Pretty much all major educational institutions are government owned.

      Most hospitals are not teaching hospitals and nonprofit hospital’s primary goal is to expand until they’re no longer profitable in order to justify greater C-suite expenses. Teaching hospitals have similar perverse incentives.

      Non profit just means there aren’t shareholders making bank, the c suits and board members are still getting 1/4 milli+ for one yearly meeting and free private jet flights to events. The company doesn’t make money but the leaders still do.
