"Quality" health care

"Quality" health care is a term devised by attorneys to replace "high quality health care."  Malpractice defense attorneys, losing cases in which their clients had trumpeted themselves as providing high quality health care, found themselves  trying to explain away their clients' abysmal professional practices which experts pointed out did not measure up to generally accepted standards of practice and was not of high quality.  So some attorneys advised clients to use the meaningless term "quality health care" instead.  If your health care provider uses the term "quality health care" you should assume you
are probably dealing with a weasel who has established and meets low standards,  justifying a claim of "quality" compliance. Do you want to place your life, health and wallet in the hands of a "weasel"?
