Having worked in healthcare for as long as I did, I can assure you that there is little difference between for-profit and not-for-profit hospitals. Both need to make money to stay open. One pays dividends to its investors, the other retains its profits. One pays taxes, the other doesn't. And on it goes.
I've worked in both environments. Given two capable and similar facilities I could go to either. However, my physician's preference would play a significant role in my decision. And I think this relationship is going to continue to change if we move closer to universal healthcare.
