The answer is to stop treating the hospital like it's something that needs to be for profit. That's something we as a species and society could easily support
But muh prawfits!
It's not that healthcare fundamentally needs to generate profit, it's that profit spurs competition, and, thus, innovation. I'm open to counterarguments, but I'm not sure that purely public healthcare can generate the same levels of innovation as purely private healthcare.
