How does the liability work there against the universal hospital?

Something like waiting 6 hours for a CT or instructing an injured pregnant woman not to eat would be ripe for a malpractice lawsuit in the US (provided actual harm occurs).

It's basically impossible to sue the government. In theory you could but I've never heard of anyone succeeding.
