Well either the Hospital gets the money in your insurance or the insurance company keeps it.
You don't matter anymore, you're about to die, this is about who gets to keep all that money you had to pay but didn't really use, not your family, which company with a CEO gets it, the Insurance can't declare you dead, but the hospital can justify torturing you for 3 more months to squeeze the last bit of juice out of you.
MONEY!!!!!
It's an American symptom

Hospital wants you out as soon as possible 99% of the time
You don't get bonus $$$ for keeping a patient. Exact opposite in fact, you get seriously penalized by Medicare

Insurance dictates how much money is given to the hospital based on a diagnostic code. For example pneumonia is 2.9 days so the hospital gets that amount of money if the patient is admitted for 2 days or 20. Also, insurances do not cover 30 day readmits. So it’s not really the hospital. They make money on surgeries
