Look, when everyone starts to believe the federal government will ultimately pick up the tab (FEMA) then price is no longer any concern.
In their defense, the staff in these hospitals, I imagine (and my imagination for this can be pretty good), are seeing things on an hourly basis they are only used to seeing a couple times a month. Remember the usual business of hospitals is babies and gall bladders, her and there someone dying of colon cancer or lung cancer but all of it happening like life as usual.
What these people are dealing with now is their worst moments coming at them one after the next, non stop. There will be emotional fall out, judgement years down the road impacted, this is going to change them profoundly. For them nothing is ever going to be the same again.
