Honestly, what does that really even mean these days?

BOTH have tens of millions of dollars in salaries getting paid to administrators and boards and business analysts etc.

I don't think there's an appreciable difference in quality of care received at one type vs the other. But saying a hospital is non-profit certainly doesn't mean they're running tight margins bc they don't bring in much money.
