what's to stop a hospital from profiting off the insurance companies by asking for a CT scan/whatever of every single patient just because they can

The patient saying no. Also a system where the patient isn’t forced to use insurance.

We could have markets run the hospitals but heaven forbid people would consent to their economic interactions.
