There are tons of problems. And my comment isn’t meant to be pro-UPMC. I’m commenting on my hesitation to support for-profit schools and hospitals. In general, their business models have always seemed a bit evil.

UPMC is not non-profit across the board. Divisions that work in for-profit sectors, such as the insurance division are designated for-profit. Why this concerns me is that people seem to be suggesting that the hospitals, which are non-profit, should have their status revoked. For-profit hospitals are not something I want to see any more than for-profit prisons or other services that should not be profit driven. If the lines are blurred in places, it should be reviewed and changed if needed, but I don’t like the idea of a blanket revoking of the status particularly where hospitals are concerned.
