The problem at the root is the financialization of everything.
Public hospitals are one thing, there incentive structures revolve around saving money - yeeting patients out of the door far faster than you'd have don in the past, to a large degree made possible by new operation technologies (minimally invasive surgeries).
But private run hospitals? They see you as a cash cow, extract as much money as possible from you. And yes, often enough that includes outright billing fraud.

That's a popular narrative, but doesn't much explain many of the variations of this phenomena at all. Women have complained forever that doctors don't listen to them when it comes to their treatment... even prior to the "financialization of everything". It is a popular narrative that it's the moneygrubbers or something like that which causes all the problems in healthcare, but it's not a very explanatory narrative, just a popular one.
