Unfortunately we are not allowed to do much in the US. Lawyers and politicians decided several decades ago that doctors could not be trusted to be in charge of medical things due to potential conflict of interest (like hospitals), and the public (i.e. businessmen and politicians) would be better served with MBAs and such in charge of physicians (in such that some people can make insane amount of money doing it). Story is more complicated, but in short.... Medicine in America is doomed to a slow, awful, death.
