"there has never been any evidence that for-profit hospitals could provide similar services at lower prices than their nonprofit competitors."

What a stupid statement! The whole argument is dumb. Of course a for-profit enterprise costs more than a non-profit one, all other things being equal. Like duh. Maybe we should have non-profit apartment buildings, bakers, and TV makers, too... Sheesh.
