It's not moloch. It's all health systems, even ones that are religiously oriented. Triage and logistics and having enough trained people working all hours to handle all cases of life threatening situations... it's a bug in all systems.
Nothing is scarier than the moment you realize you're in the hands of the medical establishment. Whatever that looks like, wherever you are. Ever tried to rush a mechanic to fix your car? Ever tried to argue with a gate agent at the airport about rebooking a cancelled flight? Now imagine doing that while your heart is failing and 10,000 other people are also trying to get their attention.
If you want to blame anything, blame the fact that our society has failed to produce sufficient numbers of people trained or willing to help in emergency situations. And the people who sacrifice their lives to doing it are heros, the finest of us. The difference between individual societies and governments is quite small in the long run.
