And so why don't they? As the church says- "I will take dollars from the devil- and use them for God's work."
Why does the gov need to get involved if a non profit could do the same thing? I do not believe that every non profit in the USA says to itself " uh yeah, we could make all the money we need for our non profit side if we went into the health insurance business, but, uh, we chose not to do that." - that's the extension of your Bill Gates statement.
