he said that if he bought a hospital, he would operate it like a startup, strip out unnecessary overhead

And then he would charge whatever the market would bear in order to maximize return on his investment.

"Running it like a business" *is* part of the problem.

Health care is not just another business. Once you're in the hospital, it's a little late to go price shopping. And with your life on the line, do you really want to choose the low cost provider?
