>In this one, and most real societies, hospitals do want people to visit more often. Their incentives are geared towards that.
This might be true, but I would expect citations. I might be biased, is only anecdote, but my experience around the world would single out USA as a place where this is predominant.
Besides, not all the hospital visits are equal, a clear example of how we can align the incentives are vaccination campaigns.

Sure, but most of the discussion on HN focuses on a USA context. In my country for example, such incentives might not be predominant re: public healthcare (since the staff gets paid whether they have more patients or not), but they are with private practices.
