Not enough physicians? No drugs? Dirty hospitals?

Yes, yes and yes.

Physician shortage due to tort law especially among OB/GYNs

Lack of drug availability due to cost factors - both high and low. Examples - fall thru the drug donut hole (e.g., realwest) - that’s an example of high-cost unaffordability. Low-cost shortage: Many pharmas stopped making childhood vaccines after Hillary got hubby’s admin to declare all low-income children would get subsidized vaccines. Pharmas lost money on them and stopped providing them.

“Dirty hospitals”? I’d say the hygiene here is bett than in the UK, but you have to ask why MRSA is such a stubborn problem.
