I think the reason we don't have more alignment of the interests of caregivers and patients is the insurance model our government has chosen to subsidize.
Can you imagine if government subsidized employer-provided housing or food by 25%? What limited options would you have then? What more do you then have to worry about when you lose your job?
Can you trade affordability for convenience and safety? No, but you can pick between housing option A or housing option B. And be ready to move if you get laid off.
That's just one among many issues subsidizing things creates.
