Why? What is the functional difference? Non-profits just funnel profits back to execs, instead of shareholders. Non-profit != lower prices.

Prices? You want medical treatment to have a price?

Have you thought this through? Doctors have to be compensated, unless you want to enslave them. Even a single-payer system has prices.

On a side note, healthcare costs are high in the US due to artificially limited supply and failed central planning of future demand: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/health/2005-03-02-doctor...
