This paper analyzes the for-profit transformation of health care, with emphasis on Internet start-ups, physician practice management firms, insurance plans, and hospitals at various stages in the industry life cycle. Venture capital, conglomerate diversification, publicly traded equity, convertible bonds, retained earnings, and taxable corporate debt come with forms of financial accountability that are distinct from those inherent in the capital sources available to nonprofit organizations. The pattern of for-profit conversions varies across health sectors, parallel with the relative advantages and disadvantages of for-profit and nonprofit capital sources in those sectors.
本文分析了医疗保健领域的营利性转型，重点关注互联网初创企业、医生执业管理公司、保险计划以及处于行业生命周期不同阶段的医院。风险资本、企业集团多元化、公开交易股权、可转换债券、留存收益和应税公司债务所带来的财务问责形式，与非营利组织可获得的资本来源所固有的形式不同。营利性转型的模式因医疗保健部门而异，与这些部门中营利性和非营利性资本来源的相对优缺点并行。
