It will certainly be spun negatively by some, but it doesn't change the relevant facts. For those who recognize the problems accompanying a Balkanized system like ours it makes the case stronger.
Horror stories such as Sine's mother are found here as well. Aside from that, analysis of any system based on one piece of data is obviously flawed. I know someone who went to Germany for a type of cutting edge spinal surgery that wasn't available here. Judging the entirety of US orthopedic surgery capability on the basis of that single bit of data would obviously be grossly inaccurate.

I suggest its time to lock this thread and allow it to sunset saying only that its worth becoming informed on the issue as it bears heavily on the economics of your business and your life.
