Profit-Driven "Non-Profits"

Is cutting services an accident or a strategy?

"Non-profit" Hospitals

In 2013, 7 of the 10 most profitable hospitals in the country were classified as “nonprofit”. Let that sink in… 7 out of the 10 most profitable hospitals in the U.S. run as nonprofit facilities. Nonprofits receive special tax exemptions and public support in exchange for their commitment to the community they serve. So why are these hospitals so set on cutting corners to turn a profit and what is happening to the excess money? Is it being reinvested into increased quality of care and appropriate staffing of hospitals? Or is it being used to increase executive pay? And how can we tell?
