Probably more about the administration at Cox making the place worse on an annual basis.

The administration doesn't care about your health, the care gives there are mostly great though

If you want mediocre healthcare, you are welcome to drive 750 miles to the nearest Canadian border. The US is overwhelmingly the leading provider of medical innovation, research, and drug breakthroughs. It has to come at a cost somewhere.

Hospitals are a very minority place to lay blame for high healthcare costs, it's insurance companies who are really investment firms in disguise. It's the insurance companies who also happen to sell malpractice coverage. It's insurance companies that also happen to own pharmaceutical companies and drug retail locations. You are right, it is capitalism, but generally speaking, hospitals rank low on the list of reasons why.
