Is there a nonprofit insurance company?

Healthcare provided publically can be thought of as nonprofit insurance.

No argument from me. Although Medicare/Medicaid is generally not a great insurance.

Kaiser Permanente to an extent, same with BCBS- though they also have a lot of for-profit affiliates. There are also a fair number of local non-profit insurers

Like Mozilla, the parent company is not-for-profit with for-profit subsidiaries

How do they make money? Honestly I don't even know how Mozilla works with out Google paying them.

There are. They are also state-run. But they are mostly in former soviet republics.
