Hospitals are also run by unethical companies

The whole system is broken to the core, with lots of bad actors making it worse: insurers, providers (hospitals, clinics, labs, even nursing homes and hospices), drug companies, medical device manufacturers, and all the different scammers who operate in the space trying to rip off patients in addition to all of the above. All the money sloshing around in American health care attracts all the scammers, which creates a death spiral where the cat and mouse game on either side creates so much overhead that there's a lot of money in it, which attracts scammers to complete the cycle.
