I've never seen a toilet lid that seals well enough to affect the flushing action.

  Like I mentioned, I do suspect that "modern" low-water toilets are half the blame here (less water->less suction). Also cheap "soft-plastic" lids seem pretty sealing compared to older/more expensive hard lids that were usually load bearing with spacers holding them up slightly (probably to let in air?). Actually tested this a bit after open/close lid arguments with my ex and this does happen, hospital toilets do usually seem sturdier than those you find in homes here though.

    For what its worth, look into actual modern toilets. The first batch of low water use ones were somewhat lacking. Modern ones are typically better than the old high water use of a decade ago. Is kind of like LED lights. First batches were garbage. Nowadays, they are better in basically every way compared to what they replaced.
