My own opinion, having observed a rather threadbare national health system (in Greece) and comparing it to the US, is that one of the key differences is the emphasis on prevention and early diagnosis, which overcomes qualitative deficits in complicated and expensive (but usually rare) procedures -- Greeks by the way live 2 years longer than Americans in spite their relative poverty . The difference in infant mortality can be summed up in two words: prenatal care. Prenatal care is cheap and extremely effective in preventing low birth weight and other problems that plague US newborns, and result in health care costs many times what it would cost to have free universal prenatal care -- costs that are picked up by the tax payers in the final analysis regardless of the insurance status of the patients. And these costs do not include the staggering costs of educating and caring for impaired individuals for life.
