You should take a tour of the facilities of some of these providers. Most are very small operations and enjoy giving tours. There is nothing left to cut that would not impact worker or customer safety. Most are also non profits so just where do you expect them to find the money to subsidize you?

Amazing how much of a general lack there is here in how shit works in the real world. If you owned a gas station and your distributor raises your prices would you keep yours the same and take a loss? Of course not. Think about it.
