they look at how much it costs them to do business, and charge a markup that they feel is appropriate. For example, if it costs them $100 to take care of a person for a night including staff and meds, they charge, say, $150.

other businesses compete with them and offer lower prices to take their business. then prices fall to whatever is still profitable but people will be able to pay. Hospital B charges $140 to offer similar care to the customer, for example.

if it's more than people can pay, then they aren't profitable.

is there a way to make things work this way?
