Prioritizing care does not mean everyone lives forever. Hospitals do not have a magic wand to wave.

Equally it does not mean unlimited resources. Clearly we live in a real world, and Healthcare will always be resource constrained to some degree.

Those who allocate resources still decide priorities, and clearly health becomes balanced with education, justice, military and so on.

So perhaps in deciding between for-profit and non-profit it's really a decision between who gets to allocate the resources. Do we prefer people out to squeeze every last dime out of you, or people looking to get re-elected by their constituents?
