Dying at home isn't profitable for hospitals. How is a proper capitalist hospital going to increase revenue and stock value if people just refuse useless, super-expensive treatments and accept the inevitable? That's socialist talk.

America is a capitalist nation, god dammit! Profit is god!

Dying at a hospital isn’t profitable either… hospitals do not want to keep you there to do.

Of course actually dying isn't profitable. What is profitable is extraordinary, highly expensive treatments to prolong life. THAT is exceptionally profitable.

When those have been used up, and nothing is left that could work, or all the money is gone, then the hospital will dump you in a hospice or to home. If the money is gone, then there is no point anymore.
