Non- profit. I have no premiums, most of my prescriptions are free. Only my pain meds are $5.00. No charge for office visits, labs are $5.00. I’ve been with them for over 40 years. Two of my kids were born there. No charge. And this on their Medicare program.
I’m in CA. I don’t know if this applies to those out of CA.
