One fact that’s often tossed around to disparage US health care and to swoon over (now clearly abysmal) European health care is that the US has few hospital beds compared to other nations.
While that’s true, the US has the most ICU or critical care beds of all nations. With respect to COVID-19 related critical care, it’s ICU beds, not hospital beds, that matter.
That said, even hospital beds is a poor comparison as it doesn’t matter much since a) patients in the US aren’t kept in hospital beds as long as they’re kept in other countries (US hospitals are more efficient) and b) those who need additional care are quickly moved to less expensive extended care facilities.
