Assignment: For-Profit Versus Nonprofit Care
Healthcare organizations and health insurers can be either for-profit or nonprofit. The overall principles that drive a for-profit healthcare organization are very different from those that guide a nonprofit entity.

o Select the role of a healthcare provider or a health insurance company employee. Describe the specifics of the role you choose.
o Compare for-profit and nonprofit healthcare from the perspective of the role you selected.
• Comment on the factors that would drive business decisions for the role you selected.
Write a 3- to 4-page paper in Word format. Apply current APA standards for writing style to your work. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
