I worked for one of those "non-profit" hospitals / higher-ed institutions. The one I was at was "non-profit" in name, but just as profit-hungry as upscale hospitals. There's a 2-D continuum of patient care quality and profit-motivated care (cost to patient and cost to insurance).

I was only talking about insurance administrative costs. Well aware of how easily the label "non-profit" can be played with. In particular the case of UPMC somewhat holding the city hostage to keep their status.
