What?You don’t know what “misnomer” means, do you? LMFAO!

At exorbitant prices, so the HC establishment can make their billions in profits. Anyone who has dealt with the system knows how corrupt it is, when it comes to costs.
I recognize a capitalist system does generate innovation, but there are multiple problems. I suspect you'll refuse to believe there are problems.
Life expectancy is fallen for years in the US. Our HC system failed us terribly during Covid. Many Americans can’t afford HC services because they can’t afford it. Many go bankrupt every year from HC costs. The third leading cause of death in the US is medical mistakes. Something needs to be done to fix the system.
No. Wrong again old man. Legal costs are not a major cost for the HC establishment. Certainly not what they should be, when considering the massive incompetence.Yeah? So? They get them done. You can blame a lot of the exorbitant prices on the trial lawyers and the bureaucracy that makes it take FOREVER to bring new technologies to market.
Keep moving those goal postsNot at all
It will happen less when there are consequences than when there arent
Looking at your examples it appears that lack of medical staff, aka nurses is the problemThey pay their malpractice insurance and add the costs to our bill.

Do you deny medical mistakes take a huge number of Americans every year?
BullshitIt is in some instances. Hiring more nurses hurts the shareholder value.
Bullshit
The nurses are not out there to be hired
I bet the lib hospital administrators have even rehired the nurses they fired for not talking the deadly covid19 vaccine
But there still arent enough
Firing the nurses was a lib politically correct decision not a business moveFiring the nurses was stupid. You can pretend cuts aren't made to enhance shareholder value if you want. It is though.
Lol.Yeah, they are. My surgeon friend spends over 200,000 per YEAR on malpractice insurance even though he has never had a claim against him.
You know NOTHING about the subject.

healthcare in America is worse since Obamacare passed. PERIOD.Really? Why? Do you think all businesses would pay for their insurance, so if they had a job, hospitals would treat them better?
It's illegal to turn people away from the ER in America. The hospital is required to treat them. Also, "I think" is not a reliable source when talking about objective reality like waiting times in the ER, so I'd like to see something more concrete.People 'do' die in ER's. I think the problem is much bigger in America due to the poor and middle class relying on ER's so heavily. And too, as I mentioned when this thread appeared yesterday, people in America die when turned away from an ER on account of cost considerations and presumably 'class' considerations.
It's enough that you reject my comments. I don't see any opportunity to pursue the question further.It's illegal to turn people away from the ER in America. The hospital is required to treat them.

A doctor can pay 5-6 figures annually for malpractice insurance, so litigation is a problem.Stop watching Fox News.
It’s a big lie that doctors and hospitals are under heavy litigation. If this were true, the third leading cause of death in this nation wouldn’t be medical mistakes.
THINK.
Not rejecting, correcting. My dad was a doctor in the US his entire working life. I know some things about the American medical care system.It's enough that you reject my comments. I don't see any opportunity to pursue the question further.
Not really. When the third leading cause of death is medical malpractice, they clearly are getting away with it.A doctor can pay 5-6 figures annually for malpractice insurance, so litigation is a problem.
They don't have to pay for it themselves. That's what the insurance is for. So, sure, some get away with it, but just like with car insurance, make enough claims, your premiums go up, and ultimately you get dropped. So the litigation isn't really punishing the doctors, but that doesn't mean the litigation isn't there.Not really. When the third leading cause of death is medical malpractice, they clearly are getting away with it.

Both in cost, and quality of care.
Good luck even seeing a doctor if you are not emergent.
I have long covid, I wanted to get an xray to examine my upper respiratory that I cannot get clear.
I couldn't get in. Nearest one was about 70 days out.
It NEVER use to be that way. PERIOD.
