Look at the numbers. With over 10% of the world’s reported cases, we have 3% of the deaths. Tell me about our “broken” health care system.

Nope, that's the calculated rate for everyone with a known infection, which includes a LOT of mild and totally asymptomatic infections.

If a patient is sick enough to be in the ICU, it's more like ≈50%.
