The dropout rate and the suicide rate are not, however.
I know a doctor and a couple PAs and RNs who have left the profession. The US medical industry is horrible to everyone involved, except the hospital and insurance profits.
Many of the largest health systems and insurance companies are non-profit. There are literally no profits, no shareholder returns in those organizations. But the facilities are beautiful and some employees very well paid.
NONE of the functioning health systems and insurance companies in the US are non-profit.
Non-profit is a common misnomer, more correctly (in the US) called "Not for Profit", a legal term that doesn't forbid profits at all. It only prevents owners from taking profit-based payouts. AFAIK, it doesn't even prevent threshold-based bonuses for C-Suite employees.
Basically, it prevents shareholders in the corporation.
