We can't keep our own babies alive as well as other countries, but we're good with the rare Siamese twin separation?

I assume you meant "mortality" instead of morality.

Would your infant mortality figures include the millions of abortions performed each year?

How many countries can save babies that are extremely low birthweight like we can here in the U.S., or would even try?

The quality here is the best, period. The cost is a separate issue and should be addressed in a way that makes sense according to market forces. Why market forces? Because they are ultimately inescapable, regardless of however elaborate of a system we may try to set up. Supply and demand will determine price and availability of any commodity. It is as unrelenting as gravity.
