It's gotten worse in recent years, yes, but this is a long-standing problem. Like I said, places like hospitals don't really lend themselves well to straight up capitalism - there are greedy people up at the top and it's making shit overpriced and hard for the entire industry, which in turn passes it on to the patients just to try and break even.
