In conclusion, this paper was written in order to examine health care costs of both non-profit and for-profit organizations in the United States. As the tables show, in non-profit hospitals the impact of health care costs was relatively minor, whereas in other contexts the cost increase registered was considerable. As a matter of fact, in the latter case the reduced co-payments apparently gave rise to a remarkable number of tests ordered by physicians. Still, the above findings should be considered somewhat provisional at this stage. This is because the patients of the two different types of organization have not been differentiated nor categorized by variables such as patient income, age and level of satisfaction with the health-care provider.
