Okay, I don't get it.
Hospitals are broke.
Doctors' fees are under pressure.
Drug costs are under pressure.
Why should it cost $15k to keep someone in a hospital room for a night?
Or even $1k?
If the Four Seasons hotel can keep me in pampered luxury for $500 a night, surely a hospital can too.

"Medical Economics" & "Hotel Economics" are "Apples & Oranges!"
You need to learn A LOT about the costs of "Hospitalization!"
In SOME RESPECTS your Concerns are Well Founded, but you apparently have NO Concept of the added costs REQUIRED BY "Lawyer-Driven" "Rules & Regulations!"
The "Odds Are," that the "Hospital" you "Stayed in" BARELY BROKE EVEN--or LOST MONEY--on your "Stay!"
