Here's one for you: the Church.
Here's another couple for you: Kaiser Permanente, Blue Cross / Blue Shield, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Goodwill Industries.
Here's a whole list of non-profit health insurance providers who meet those requirements.

Really, you have *yet* to demonstrate you understand how the current system works and your broken examples lead others to conclude you don't understand how it works. You have yet to show you've done any serious research - soundbites and fanciful ideology is what you've given. As far as we can tell, you've never even interacted with a health insurance company (or a medical services provider) as a customer, much less done any study on how they operate or what their costs are.

You've repeatedly sidestepped or ignored questions that you don't want to answer in favor of nitpicking at the posts of others with snarky one-liners. You reject or ignore any attempts from posters who patiently try to explain how the current system works. For all intents and purposes, you simply appear to be trolling to divert energy away from a constructive discussion in which all sides might learn something. Its rather like you've entered a discussion about quantum mechanics and keep interrupting with questionable assertions about basic algebra.
