Hospitals and doctors make money if the person lives and they can keep giving them treatments. Dead people don't pay much.
What "treatments" are you alluding to? As far as the profit aspect, insurance and surviving family members foot the bill, unless you are not White and or an illegal alien, then ****** picks up the tab.
What treatments? The medication and the numerous doctor visits that they say are required. I know this already, as my former roomie had to deal with all that crap.
And, even if they die, and the surviving family members have to foot the bill, that is a one time payment. It's much more lucrative to keep the person alive so they can keep charging for medicine and doctor visits.
Me personally? I think that medical care should be like what I had in the military. You're sick or hurt, you go to sick call and get fixed. Your family is hurt or sick? Same deal. Healthcare shouldn't be determined by your wallet, it should be the same for everyone.
