Not sure if I'd agree. There are certainly fancy hospitals that look like 5* hotels but they're for routine surgery only. Top specialists are still at big hospitals because that's where the most complicated cases are treated and where the infrastructure is. You might be able to skip waiting time with private insurance but you won't see a better doctor or get better quality medical treatment. In the end, having a nicer meal and single room in your hospital don't matter that much medically.
