Despite the fact that it’s been specifically addressed on this thread, you seem to be under the impression that Hatzoleh is becoming for-profit. They are not. They would simply be getting money from insurance instead of totally from donors. This is money they need for operations, not profit.

Before you try to somehow spin it that you didn’t mean that, let me point out this quote of your’s: “once it starts making money there will be pressure to cut corners and make more money.” There’s no way that quote is not assuming they are after profit. That’s not a difference of opinion, that’s just you being wrong. They are remaining non-profit. End of story.

I have faith that the posek who opposed the insurance had real reasons. Not emotionalist, idealist opinions like “money corrupts,” and a complete lack of understanding of what the change means.

If currency has this otherworldly power to make its beholder evil, maybe you should publicly advocate that people donate less to Hatzolah. Wouldn’t want them to become corrupt, right?
