However I recall the night my son was born - the facilities, staff and resources of the hospital were unmatched - the mother and baby would not have the same experience anywhere else in the world.
My wife works in the ER - they constantly use procedures and deploy resources in ways that would be considered impractical elsewhere in the world.
For example: an 65+ year-old patient comes in with a specific complaint. It could be cause A or the more rare but serious cause B. It takes imaging to determine whether it's A or B. Elsewhere in the world, they just assume it's A as the patient is "old" because it's financially impractical to test for B. My wife on the other had has no constraints from ordering the imaging test even though 9/10 times it's "wasted" as it just confirms A. But the other 10% of the time, it saves the life.
We make a different tradeoff in the US, some of us prefer this trade off.
