I would think a UHC system would pretty much always include pretty strict limits on litigation seeing as the government would be more likely to be the one on the hook. (Like in the US aren't there already pretty strict rules on how much a citizen can sue the US government for?)
Whats inherently different about the US compared to all the other countries that causes us to have so many more issues when it comes to health?
