Yes perhaps the question was unclearly posed, I mean - how do people allow themselves to be admitted to expensive care without being in need of it?

Are doctors "persuading" patients that they need care, and the problem is lack of information about what rights you have to actually refuse, or information about what the symptoms would be etc?

Yep that's usually what happens. Not everyone has the same access to basic medical information and rely solely on the doctor's word. That is how many people fall into cult-like or religious "medicine" or end up spending way too much on otherwise farsical treatment.
