Some things should not be ruthlessly efficient; what appears to be waste is tail risk premium. Alas, that “efficiency savings” becomes someone’s bonus or profit, and a loss for the rest of us.

Allow CEOs to keep their performance-based bonuses. However, add a stick to balance out that carrot, like capital punishment if your hospital falls below a certain level of patient outcome on the year.
Seriously though, if the people responsible for hospital cutbacks had to rely on the same level of care the average American gets, we would never have gotten to this state.
