Do healthcare ghouls actually expect these to be paid off? Like 180k for a fucking liver? Why the fuck does it cost so much when these body parts are fucking donated for free
They do not. It is primarily used to as a way to create a series of privatized hospitals that finance through their own debt, that can go under at any time while simultaneously pricing local government out of collectivized solutions because they are not allowed to finance their debt in the same ways/ if the township declares bankruptcy it affects more things than if a privatized clinic or hospital declares bankruptcy.
Not to say that it isn't a hugely inflated charge, but the liver charge includes the operation to harvest the organ from the donor, which involves a whole team of people, time in an OR, and possibly specialized transport.

And a lot of the money the medical workers involved make immediately gets stolen by medical school debt and landlords
It actually was donated by her husband, who has his own set of medical transplant bills as a result.
