Even with the cost of medicine going through the roof, college kids don't incur a whole lot of medical costs on average. So it's surprising the university would need to spend so much there.

The UC Health system serves the general public through direct services and their research and teaching functions.

They're effectively separate organizations. One runs the universities, the other runs the hospitals + med schools.

These are typically regular (teaching) hospitals, they serve the community not just the university.
