NONE of the functioning health systems and insurance companies in the US are non-profit.
Non-profit is a common misnomer, more correctly (in the US) called "Not for Profit", a legal term that doesn't forbid profits at all. It only prevents owners from taking profit-based payouts. AFAIK, it doesn't even prevent threshold-based bonuses for C-Suite employees.
Basically, it prevents shareholders in the corporation.
