"obligated to admit anyone that has a government health insurance plan. This includes Medicaid and Medicar"Hospitals that receive government funding are obligated to admit anyone that has a government health insurance plan. This includes Medicaid and Medicare.

Medicare Advantage growth has had an outsize impact on the finances of small, rural hospitals that Medicare has designated as “critical access.” Under the designation, government-administered Medicare pays extra to those hospitals to compensate for low patient volumes. Medicare Advantage plans, on the other hand, offer negotiated rates that hospital operators say often don’t match those of traditional Medicare.

Remove Medicare and Medicaid from the marketplace, and healthcare costs will go down, dragging also the fixed costs of hospitals down
