Depends on the hospital. There are good ones and bad, just like other sectors. The one for which I work has an annual loss from uncompensated care of around $200,000,000. That's not chump change. Sure they have waste, but they also have a mission. That's not super atypical for a large, urban institution. The ACA does disincentivize doctors from practicing in poor areas however, so to me that's a huge negative.
