'Should'? What right do you have to make them put up a 'we reserve the right to refuse service" sign at the hospital?
Sorry, that just doesn't work.
We have money, money buys goods and services. Unless you're talking about a weapon, it's money for goods or services.

Most Pharmaceutical companies are public companies, traded on NYSE or NASDAQ, PG&E is also a public company.
Kaiser Permanente is a not for profit company.
If you are referring to them not being a government organization, that is public sector versus private sector, but there is still a distinction wherein laws are different for publicly traded companies versus privately held companies.
