Because depending on the funding system, for-profit hospitals will increase bed capacity to increase revenue. It creates perverse incentives (also because of supplier-induced demand).

Meaning you think hospitals will deliberately try to make people sick so they’ll have more “customers”?

The most naive ways of doing that would be *crimes*. The more subtle forms (erring on the side of doing more medical procedures) seem like they’d be disincentivized by insurers refusing to reimburse unnecessary care, right?
