This is a perfect example of the problem with uneducated opinions about healthcare. Everybody has them, has never even tried to confirm their assumptions with a doctor and will continue to propose all sorts of fixes (see sibling comments) that make zero practical sense and will actually drastically reduce the quality of care. My SO is a doctor, even here in Europe there are many flaws, but what I have learned over the years is that this system is way, way more complex and effective than people think. If you want to improve it, great! Step one: go talk to a doctor about your ideas. If you haven't done that, don't spread your unfounded assumptions, it only leads to more demonization of staff and systems and doesn't help anybody.
