They have inspections but that's as far as the US government gets involved in hospitals. In Philadelphia there are 2 popular hospitals. Both are owned by a healthcare company but ran in conjunction with a university. Jefferson Hospital and Hanneman Hospital for example are operated by Jefferson University and Drexel University respectively.
