In my area, the non-profit (in name only) hospital system uses aggressive pricing, advertising, and takeover tactics to drive existing hospitals out of business, buy them out, dump unprofitable patient groups, recruit profitable ones, and then hold their medical care hostage while renegotiating higher reimbursement rates with the insurance company, with no accountability and giant compensation packages for their executives.
You can deny things all you want. The behavior of some "non-profit" hospital chains is out of line with what the public and the government considers appropriate for non-profits, and constitutes tax abuse.
