Further off, some economic theorists suggest that many not-for-profit hospitals are structured, utilizing various methods, to essentially advance the economic interests of physicians (Pauly, 1980; Pauly and Redisch, 1973; Clark, 1980). As Sloan (forthcoming) notes, "to the extent this is so, the voluntary hospital is only a profit-seeking hospital in disguise, and there is no reason to expect it to behave much differently." Nevertheless, amid the debates and nuances, not-for-profit hospitals remain integral to the American healthcare landscape, and their enduring significance resonates as a testament to the indelible role of altruism in healthcare.
