For a few Americans. Not for all Americans, and probably not even for most Americans. There's far more to the United States than New England and Southern California.
Don't get me wrong, if I had some rare cancer or other strange disease, chances are I'll want to try and get in to one of these few rare ultra premium hospitals.

I'd have different standards when researching where to have teeth cleaning vs oral surgery
