Except for churches and religious organizations, I can't think of a constitutional dimension to having a right to non-profit or tax-exempt treatment. Without that religious element, the favorable tax treatment given to charities is doled out by the taxing authority. If they have the discretion to give the exemption, they can also decide not to do so. <br /><br />It's a shame in health care. The cost is high enough as it is. Taxing it can't help.
