Business interests in hospitals certainly have a role to play but that is in part an extension of the for profit health insurance system in America. Hospitals have hired legions of middle men dedicated to obtaining adequate reimbursement for services provided while insurance companies have legions of people working to deny claims. Doctors and nurses are often left with completely inadequate resources and staffing and patients suffer as a result.
