I only see it as ineffecient right now b/c there seems to be a doctor shortage ( I use the term loosely, it's not in dire straights but there could be more white coats) which delays patient visits and keeps the supply for healthcare controlled which is also why it is expensive. The access to it though is superior than most countries. Border hospitals in the northern US like Seattle, for example, will service many Canadian patients who dont' want to wait 1 yr for a procedure.

I'm amused by the number of people who aren't willing to admit that the USA's place on this graph is the result of a public/private healthcare system. Public-private partnerships are the worst...

Not to mention investment firms owning american hospitals...

This works once you enter this stage, but would be a bad way to represent a tournament. The cognitive load to understand who played who in the first round is much higher than the typical tree diagram with clear spacing between the matchups. Visualization of data is about understanding first
