First off, one person would not decide how to efficiently run a hospital, that would still be done by the hospital itself. The non-profit rules would just prevent the hospital from raising the rates to hide any profit they are making. It would have set rules that would limit the rates based on costs of items and labor instead of charging you prices that are equal or more than a 1 night stay at the Waldorf  penthouse in NYC. The idea is to take profit out of the picture completely and make health care about treating people instead of fleecing them in their time of need.</blockquote>
