It’s also unironically Reagan’s fault, as well as both Clinton and FDR.
Prior to FDR doctors and healthcare were run completely not for profit, and part of The New Deal included privatizing hospitals. Nixon did insurance. Reagan and Clinton mostly just took the government further out of healthcare by removing regulations.
I attended an AI/ML training course provided by one of the major cloud providers (it was actually the first one they ever did). In the class were several private hospital executives.
All of them were absolutely giddy about the prospect of using AI to deny care to unprofitable patients.

Private nonprofit hospitals aren’t even that bad. Its private insurance thats the real problem

Well if they are for profit so there’s the problem. All private healthcare companies should be non-profit.
Being non-profit doesn’t make a hospital immune to that sort of greed.
