What are the differences between profit and nonprofit hospitals?

What justifies tax-exemptions for non-profit hospitals?

  • Not-for-profit hospitals receive a substantial tax exemption that is often attacked in state legislatures and occasionally in the U. S. Congress

  • Answer:

    The tax exemption is justified by the contributions they make to crooked Senators! Had it not been a for-profit organization there would have been no taxes to be exempt from.

Their motivation is to provide services, not to make money. If they aren't tax exempt they'd have to charge more money so they can continue to break even to avoid becoming a "Not for profit/For-Loss entity."
