Living in California I can tell you that there is free parking with valets. You can charge your electric car and the lobby is definitely not looking bad at all. In one hospital, in Washington, there was a super high ceiling with a piano where a musician comes sometimes during the day to play. It's not everywhere like these two examples, but I've seen a couple where the level was way higher than in Canada or Europe.

Living in SF I can tell you there are hospitals that charge $35/hr to park there while in the ER

Not the case in Mountain View or Los Gatos. Neither the case in Seattle or Kirkland.
