Having lived in the U.S. for a while, it's apparent the purpose of a hospital is "provide big salaries to top administrators and executives whilst providing enough health care that they can get away with it".

POSIWID is about finding a single "purpose" and defining that as the apex reason for a system (usually to manipulate). I'm not sure how we have more balanced discussions. reductionism: squashing a many-layered phenomenon into a single tidy cause framing: choosing one angle of a story and strawmanning or deflecting. false dichotomy: where every shade of gray is lost. single-axis narratives: narrative manipulation where you steer the public to think along just one line (whatever works — economic, moral, tribal).
