How this compares to other countries?
I suspect that if some other country has exactly the same quality of medical care, more people die from medical errors in the US simply because doctors have incentive to order treatments even if risk/reward ratio does not justify it. Especially when patients are elderly.
More treatments leads to more errors with the same error/treatment ratio.
