Most started out that way but saw that there truly was little actual difference to the bottom line, so some of them have changed to profit making corporations. Anthem Blue Cross of CA has done exactly that. Blue Shield of CA, an entirely separate "non-profit" corporation, still retains the old model.

Liberals and Democrats see "not-for-profit" corporations as somehow sanctified and almost as holy as GovernMental institutions/agencies. They intuitively believe that non-profits are more honest and trustworthy. The fact is... that's just false and utterly untrue. One is motivated by profits, the other by high salaries and totally liberal expense accounts.

One may be as motivated to build a solid reputation with good service and fairness, as the other!!!
