> maternity costs ... complications ... if something were to go really wrong, would you rather be in the US hospital or the UK one? I suspect the NHS is more affordable, but does not handle complications and individual patient cases as well as the US system.
As someone who has lived in the UK, Australia, and the US, probably not the US?
Also, "Infant Mortality Rates of Countries, deaths per 1,000 live births[1]":
* Australia - 4.7
* United Kingdom - 4.8
* United States - 6.2
Apparently the statistics say we're not as good at "[handling] complications and individual patient cases" as you believe we are.
