Impeding changes to our Health Care system

[TheMercenary]

An interesting report from the UK.

Patients were routinely neglected or left “sobbing and humiliated” by staff at an NHS trust where at least 400 deaths have been linked to appalling care.

An independent inquiry found that managers at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust stopped providing safe care because they were preoccupied with government targets and cutting costs.

The inquiry report, published yesterday by Robert Francis, QC, included proposals for tough new regulations that could lead to managers at failing NHS trusts being struck off.

It certainly does sound appalling.

But whats your point?

Dont we have tens of thousands of deaths a year in the US as a result of improper hospital care - wrongful surgeries, hospital borne infections, dispensing wrong medication, etc?
