This mechanism is completely broken considering medical care in the US is ridiculously expensive. The hospital should be held responsible financially for the patient until she dies or their mistake gets fixed. No lawsuit just a simple if you break it you own it philosophy so the hospital is responsible for the medical bill and any loss in financial earnings incurred because of their mistake payed monthly to the patient or its immediate family.
