.. and in the universal-healthcare UK, my brother survived being 12 weeks premature.

Do you have a cite for the French system, specifically that withdrawal of care in NICU? English or French will be fine.

In the UK they give services, and reasses on an ongoing basis, so different than the French. Added some info for under 37 weeks, where the US comes out on top.

So are you admitting that your original point about single payer healthcare is totally BS? Because the UK has single payer and apparently you think they do a decent job with this situation.

My first comment was directly pertinent to the French model, but same for UK--US survival rates are higher for sub 37 week old babies.
