Hospitals receive money from insurance companies, patients, individuals who pay for patients (e.g., family members) charities and governments. And some of the charities are indirectly funded by governments (states, IIRC, receive funding if charities exist). It’s a mess that many would like to see more organized. But the organizing would probably cost us even more. We need more market chaos in the market of medical insurance, IMO. There are too many anti-competition regulations.
