I disagree. A nonprofit organization has no real incentives and tends to be slow and unreliable. I want my health insurance company fighting to keep my business.
Think of this this way - why isn't there a non-profit health-insurance company? I mean, think of it - it could have the lowest prices by far, since it wasn't trying to make a profit. People would donate to it in order to write it off their taxes, and so the cost would be subsidized even more. Everyone would flock to it! So, why doesn't it exist? Because it won't work, that's why. It will be slow, ineffective, behind the times, and untrustworthy. I'll stick with my "money-grubbing" insurance companies, thanks.
