Because we have the technology and the ability to keep more babies healthy upon early birth, something the countries with socialized medicine largely lack.
What sort of technology do you think we lack? My wife works in ITU, and this country has CAT scanners, ultrasound, ecgs, incubators, electricity, hot running water...there are even UK hospitals with special units for dealing with premature births. I don't think we lack anything you have stateside, and I would be surprised if Sweden did.
Seriously - I want to know what it's called so I can google it and find out where it is in the UK - coz I am sure I will find it in use in the NHS. Some places with UHC may not be able to afford such stuff, but we have the 4th langest economy in the world. We have the cash and I'm sure we don't lack expertise.
