The entire hospital industrial complex, both wings of it (for profit & “non-profit”) have become just like the education industrial complex, as ever-more addicted to government dictated and directed financial opium that put all the THEIR increased costs on government & private insured customers (and students & taxpayers for the schools) and never questioned the original sources of the cost increases themselves - doctors, hospitals, health care providers & in the case of schools, “educators”.
All the “help” from government has merely been to keep paying the cost increases of the health care industrial complex and the education industrial complex, with greater levels of revenue and subsidies from (a) taxpayers and (b) mandates on insurance policies.
That’s why Obamacare banned the construction of any new physician-owned hospitals to compete with that setup.
