There are less and less hospitals that are independant. Meaning that most are now owned by corporations, hedge-funds and investment entities. Business now runs almost all hospitals and clinics. Business people care about the bottom line. Don't mix up the compassion of nurses and doctors to the business ethic of making money. Most if not all of the corporations who own these hospitals don't even have a doctor on their boards.
