i think you mean "almost doudle", and I wonder why the USA has more than 50% more preterm, or premature babies than us?
Either way, this issue of preterms does not account for better survival rates among full term babies - and that is also shown on the second link of my latest OP. in fact, why not go there and put all our cards on the table. /
The USa leads the world in terms of Cancerscreening, and better health outcomes for prostate cancer as a result. in terms of other cancers, it compares favourably also. yet , in terms of Life Expectancy, IMRs and other markers, the European system of NHC wins. This isn't a pissing contest. By comparing notes, we could learn from each other and have better outcomes on both sides for everyone. Agreed?
