Stanford is a non-profit. It is also charitable. It sounds like this guy wasn't given his options properly. Clearly he found insurance and was treated. I actually think that the social workers and financial workers at Stanford do a very poor job and this is from experience. I am sure that goes all the way up the executive chain. Imagine if you are a poor immigrant. Imagine if you don't have a rich friend to advocate for you.

Yes, but even non-profits have to manage their resources.

So? What’s your point here?
My point is that if they eat the cost of everyone's treatment, they will not continue to exist.
