Was looking for a cite about the conviction to see what the charges/findings/etc were and having trouble finding one. Any chance you have a good link?

FWIW, 86% of nonprofit hospitals provide less in charity care than the value of the tax exemption: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33966271/
And, as the report you cited states, nonprofit hospitals act in most respects in "like any other profit-maximizing businesses."
