I hate to break it to you, but "non-profit" doesn't mean what you literally think it means.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser_Permanente

Also, KPMGs are indeed "for-profit" while Kaiser Permanente as a whole is constituted as a "consortium" of both types.

Do you suppose thats why they wrote "principally"?
You're absolutely wrong!

And here is why: I guarantee you that the nurses are working in the "for-profit" units, and also, that still betrays ignorance of what "non-profit" actually means, which is the load-bearing topic of this thread.

Ok fine, but I bet you can't come up with a good gluten free banana bread recipe.
Can you just say the point you're trying to make about nonprofits directly?
Kaiser nurses by and large work for KFH, which is non-profit.
