Have you spent much time looking inside non profits? A lot of hospitals in the US are non profits. Some are part of non profit universities too. This in no way leads to superior cost controls, or those universities being cheap. What it does mean is that they get some significant tax advantages (for instance, no property taxes), and that there's fewer optimization incentives. When you limit yourself to the US definition of a non profit company, it doesn't make care better or cheaper.
