First, educate yourself about the NPO sector, example:

Second, look for articles like this:

Not for profit organizations are not inherently more moral than for profit entities. They aren't inherently better run. They aren't inherently doing a better job of serving the greater good.
Some sorts of services work better under certain organization models than others, eg it is best to have a government run or volunteer or not for profit fire department that automatically responds to all fires, regardless of ability to pay. That simply works better than a for pay model because if you do not put out your neighbor's fire because they are poor and cannot pay, the fire can soon become your problem and, at that point, it can be a bigger problem that is harder to solve.
But that does not mean that a non profit model is inherently superior in all cases. Business done right is a force for good. It is a civilizing, peace promoting force. And, sometimes, NPOs are all kinds of fucked up and were created for all the wrong reasons.
