"Financial help to NON-PROFITS".......... What does "non-profit" mean if it doesn't mean NON-PROFIT?

Hardly, if you bother reading the article you will see that companies are providing the funds not the government. I know, reading is not your strong suit. I bet you blame Obama for this too.

?? I assume you know that non-profits ahve expenses as well? Apparently some non-profits may no longer exist without this help that no one is asking YOU to provide. My guess is you are against non-profits but I could be wrong. What the meaning of non-profit means and why this program is happening seem to have nothing to do with each other.

This sounds about right. Kaiser is one of the "corporations" that is assisting not-for-profits. Kaiser purports to be a not-for-profit, but really only dedicates less than 0.2% of its revenue to community benefit. So, Kaiser donates a little here, a little there, and still racked up more than $1B in profits in the first half of 2009. Nice job for a not-for-profit. I guess there's a lot to be saved by denying claims, there Kaiser.

How did you learn to talk out of the side of your neck like that? Do you have any idea how many millions of Dollars Kaiser donated to local communities last year? How much $, clothes, food etc. were donated in the last month alone? Didn't think so. If you just want to hear yourself talk maybe you should pick a subject that you have some clue about? I am sure your contributions to the community are very signifigant, lol.
